Author Mary Johnson introduces herself and provides a summary of her memoir, "An Unquenchable Thirst," her journey as a nun with the Missionaries of Charity, the community founded by Mother Teresa.
No Mary! The sisters do not want you to say less, please say more. For instance you certainly know you did not train "sisters" to take vows. You trained novices (young women) to take vows, at which time they became "sisters". Why did you use the word "sisters" in stead of novices? Why did you say you fell in "love" with a "sister"? Did you mean to say you fell in love with a novice? How old was the "sister" you fell in "love" with? Finally name one nun who regarded you as an expert in anything ?
I have read Mary's book. She is rigorously honest about her experiences in being a nun and with her interactions with Mother Theresa. Mary doesn't blame Mother Theresa, but points to her own needs for friendship and intimacy as the reason she left the order. It must have required tremendous courage to do that.
and how dare you write so much personal information about mother Teresa when she would never have wanted that. Just because she has passed away does not give you the right to exploit her all over the internet.
I think what you have done is ruthless. Your story is going to rob many of hope and faith. Your intention in all this was nothing more than to make a big pile of money at the expense of the catholic religion.
If you sincerely thought things were not right why didn't you gather the others and explain your feelings? Don't say you weren't allowed. If someone was having this big of an issue they would listen.
you are toying with people all for the purpose of money.
that's why they say if its not a true calling from the Lord don't pursue rigorous ministry..haven't read your book yet but from what I can go on from your interviews I would suggest you acted on emotions when you saw the issue of TIME with MT and maybe saw it as an escape from the world's pressures..if the fire was truly put in your hear by God then I have been wrong..but it sounds like emotions and escapism were more of a motivation for you to joing MOC
@summerstars100 Seriously, grow up.

I'm stunned, you never saw the Radiant Christ in her? You truly were not on the path to Sainthood.
