Mother Teresa’s great friend is also sure of a place among the saints

THERE are two Mother Teresas. The first is the Mother Teresa who appeals to fans of mushy Hollywood movies.

She is a happy, kindly figure who goes around doing good to everybody she meets. A nice, simple, Christmas-card style of a nun, emitting a nice bright light like a souvenir you can buy in Knock.

The second Mother Teresa is more complex. Yes, she loves the poor with a love that few other human beings could manage. She does good whenever she can. And thousands of people have been inspired by her example. But she is more than all that.
