A Chalice of Miracles

The title of the book is drawn from a quote from none other than Mother Teresa. Quoting an undated confession addressed to Jesus at the suggestion of a confessor, “Lord, my God, who am I that you should forsake me? The Child of your Love – and now become as the most hated one – the one – You have thrown away as unwanted – unloved. I call, I cling, I want – and there is no One to answer – no One on whom I can cling – no, No One. – Alone… Where is my faith – even deep down right in there is nothing, but emptiness & darkness – My God – how painful is this unknown pain – I have no Faith – I dare not utter the words & thoughts that crowd in my heart – & make me suffer untold agony. So many unanswered questions live within me afraid to uncover them – because of the blasphemy – If there be God – please forgive me – When I try to raise my thoughts to Heaven – there is such convicting emptiness that those very thoughts return like sharp knives & hurt my very soul. – I am told God loves me – and yet the reality of darkness & coldness & emptiness is so great that nothing touches my soul. Did I make a mistake in surrendering blindly to the Call of the Sacred Heart?” Whose heart could not be moved by the profound loneliness of Teresa’s suffering…her chalice of pain? This book offers a spiritual antidote to the religious dogma that failed Teresa and millions of others…A Chalice Of Miracles.
