The Letters

The film "The Letters" focuses on the spiritual struggles of Mother Teresa. While outwardly dedicated to her work with the poor and founder of the Order of the Missionaries of Charity, her private letters reveal a profound inner turmoil. For the last 50 years of her life, she experienced a "dark night of the soul," feeling abandoned by God. Despite this spiritual darkness, she continued her humanitarian efforts, including establishing hospices for the terminally ill and centers for the blind and aged. Her letters, published in 2007, offer a glimpse into her personal faith journey and the challenges she faced in maintaining her devotion amidst feelings of divine absence.123
