Nothing could stop Rev. Brian Kolodiejchuk from pushing for Mother Theresa’s sainthood — not even her letters that showed her “lack of faith.”

Apparently, Mother Theresa herself was wracked by doubts that would make good-lookin’ atheists everywhere yell, “PWNED!”

In a new book that compiles letters she wrote to friends, superiors and confessors, her doubts are obvious.

Shortly after beginning work in Calcutta’s slums, the spirit left Mother Teresa.

“Where is my faith?” she wrote. “Even deep down… there is nothing but emptiness and darkness… If there be God — please forgive me.”

Eight years later, she was still looking to reclaim her lost faith.

“Such deep longing for God… Repulsed, empty, no faith, no love, no zeal,” she said.

As her fame increased, her faith refused to return. Her smile, she said, was a mask.

“What do I labor for?” she asked in one letter. “If there be no God, there can be no soul. If there be no soul then, Jesus, You also are not true.”

Says Rev. Kolodiejchuk, the letters’ content only make her case stronger for sainthood. Which inspires us to ask a completely relevant question: What the hell is going on?
