Mother Teresa's Dark Night - Catholic (Isaiah 40:31)
After Mother Teresa's death, her letters revealed something shocking: for nearly 50 years, she experienced spiritual darkness—feeling abandoned by God, unable to sense His presence. Yet she kept serving, kept praying, kept waiting. She called it a gift, a sharing in Christ's abandonment on the cross. "Those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength." Waiting doesn't mean feeling God's presence; it means trusting despite the darkness. Teresa soared on wings she couldn't see. Dark nights can produce eagles.
