Article on Mother Teresa (Martina Niou)

Dear Friends,

I came across this article and found it really, really good and thought-provoking. You may already know this, but I never knew of the spiritual challengens that Mother Teresa encountered in her journey of faith. I must say that I now respect her even more. This article is a bit long but it's a worthwhile read.

God Bless,
