Did you know that Mother Teresa was involved in some very shady business practices? Her clinics received millions of dollars in donations yet their conditions were appalling. There was a disturbing shortage of medical care, systemic diagnosis and necessary nutrition as well as a decided lack of painkillers.

Teresa once told a cancer patient that “pain means Jesus is near you and that suffering is an opportunity to share and the passion of Christ.” She even compared suffering to “kisses from Jesus.”

THIS IS COOL. I WANT TO LEARN SOMETHING ELSE, TOO!
