I also found myself wondered how Mother Theresa could be so filled with faith. I was also raised in the Catholic, but somehow I came out the end of the tube with very little spiritual fulfillment and only a moderate amount of faith.
How is it that one person exposed to relatively similar theology could end up at opposing ends of the faith spectrum? It's a question worth asking because it forces one to focus on their own spiritual limitations. In the end, it can really only be one thing, it is my fault. I didn't do enough to grow my spirituality, I didn't feed the faith. I didn't seek to love God like I should have. I can not deny that, to do so would only shrug the responsibility from myself where it squarely belongs.
In the end, I found my faith, but not to the degree that Mother Theresa did. Not even close, I am a spiritual midget in her shadow. It is something to be ashamed of.
Can it be that one is more gifted with faith than another? While it seems plausible, I do not believe it is reasonable that God would gift any of us with more spirituality than another. So then, why is it that one would possess such incredible faith while another appears to have little or none?
Thoughts anyone?
