Mother Teresa of Calcutta: Not a Plaster Saint

Today is the 10th anniversary of Mother Teresa of Calcutta's death. The milestone passed without the wave of attention that the news gave Princess Dianna's death, again. Which is just as well. Quite a bit of the news articles missed the point of Mother Teresa's life and faith. So did many blogs.

Here are some that didn't:

• " Diana the myth, Mother Teresa the reality," a posting from Boinkie's Blog, and not for "those who prefer plaster saints and mythological princesses"
• "Mother Teresa and the Heart of Motherhood" from the "A Catholic Mom in Hawaii" blog.
• " Mother Teresa's Dark Night," posted by "Teófilo de Jesús," a man with an interesting biography.And, from 2002, a CNS article, "Longing for God: Mother Teresa's letters reveal isolation, doubts."
