verlossing 2

"If I ever become a Saint...

I will surely be one of 'darkness.' 

I will continually be absent from Heaven: 

to (light) the light of those in darkness on earth"

Q: 

So what do you say to those who call her experience a crisis of faith, that she didn't really believe in God, or somehow imply that her darkness was a sign of psychological instability?

Father Kolodiejchuk: 

It wasn't a crisis of faith, or that she lacked faith, but that she had a trial of faith where... 

she experienced the feeling that she did not believe in God.

This trial required a lot of human maturity, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to do it. She would have become unbalanced.

We can really be living the cross in someway — it is painful, and it hurts, and just because we can spiritualize, it does not take way the pain — but one can be joyful as well... because one is living with Jesus. And that is not false! This is how and why Mother lived a life so full of joy!
