Discussion
started with the comment, "apparently in order to be a saint, it's, not
enough to just be holy, all your private writings need to be made public.

comments about struggling with faith and being dwarfed by Blessed
Teresa's holiness yet still experiencing similar spiritual dyness and
lack of God's presence. DIfference is she had an intimate relationship
with God at first then it was removed and in her obedience, B.Teresa
continued in faith even though she did not feel.
I wonder how an atheist would view B.Teresa's doubt. no soul no voice....
Discussion moved to whether it is precarious or essential to base you faith on the transmitted history of Jesus.
