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.
