Mother Theresa

Every once in a while I visit a Mormon blog called Times and Seasons to see if there are any interesting topics. I was reading one on prayer, and one commenter to the post said the following:

I liked the description Mother Theresa gave of her experience of prayer:
An interviewer asked Mother Theresa what she says to God when she prays.
“I don’t say anything,” she replied, “I just listen.”
So the interviewer asked her what God says to her.
“He doesn’t say anything,” said Mother Theresa. “He just listens.” And before the astonished interviewer could press her further, she added, “And if you don’t understand that, I can’t explain it to you.”

Now, since I don't understand that I suppose that nobody can explain it to me. But maybe Mother Theresa was just a poor communicator and that's why she couldn't explain it to the poor interviewier. If that is the case, could someone please explain it to me.

If not, I am left with 2 possible conclusions:
1. Mother Theresa is on a much higher/different spiritual plane that I (not unlikely) and about anyone I've ever met (much less likely); or
2. Mother Theresa is a quack.

Maybe that's a false dichotomy, especially since this was just one response to an interviewer, but her response doesn't do anything for me liek it apparently did for the commenter I quoted. Maybe Christopher Hitchens was right in his show "Hell's Angel" and his book "Missionary Position" both about Mother Theresa, that she should not be held up as a Saint, but deplored instead. But maybe not, I'm not sure.

In one Provo student ward I was in, on the first fast Sunday a Mormon Indian lady (as in from India) bore her testimony. It was pretty much entirely about Mother Theresa and how great of a person and example she was. Now this lady had worked at one of Theresa's clinics and along side her at times so she was speaking from personal experience. It was quite an emotional discourse/testimony (and posibly moving though I really don't remember) but odd for a testimony meeting (though different is usually good in such meetings). This lady seemed very sincere in her praise of the Mother, so I'm not sure whether I should discretid her or not.

Well does that quote by Mother Theresa make sense to anyone?

If your interested in Hitchens information on Mother Theresa, you can read this interview. Kinda long though. And it is from the "secular humanist" website.
