AB:
I agree with you Mother Theresa is a giant in a small body.
In an interview, they asked her why do u do what u do? I wouldn't do it
not even for a million dollars (the interviewer)
And she answered: "I wouldn't do it for a million dollar either. I do
it because I see God's face in each one of the sick people I take care
of."

I met Mother Theresea when I was in grade-school. She made a "support
the Mission in India" tour through the Catholic Schools and popped into
our little school.

Fast forward 20 years and I find myself reading the newspaper that she's
being cannonized into Sainthood while I am sitting in India. Sitting in
the same city that she started her India mission (Varanasi) and a few
hours later found myself at the bldg she started her mission from.

Hows that for strange circumstances?

Ok here goes. Most christians believe that God hates sin. And it is
also said that the Spirit leaves a place of sin and returns after
repentance. If this is true then The Blessed Virgin would have to have
been sinless in order for God to enter her. Jesus Christ's birth has
always been know to have been a supernatural birth. Yet the world seems
to have had amnesia in the last 200 years. "True light of true light"
The old traditions state that Christ passed through Mary in the form of
light and therefore she maintained her virginity. The star that they
followed which remained over the stable of His birth apparently shot
down a beam of light into Mary and there appeared in front of her "The
Christ". She was the first tabernacle and contained God in her for 9
months. His birth was an appearance not a passing through. She also
only spoke 7 verses in all scripture. A silent woman keeping all in her
heart. Remember that her mother St. Anne was over 90 when she gave
birth to her. Then she was given up to the temple to serve God until
Joseph asked for her hand in marriage. Born for one purpose? Maybe. A
vessel? Maybe. All in all she is the great matriarch and whatever she
asks of her son He will do. Just like at the wedding of Cana where it
wasn't his time yet and He still performed the first miracle upon her
request. The greatest way to get to someone is through their mother.
And what quicker way to communicate to God than having her there with
her arms wide open, asking what your needs are, passing them on to Him.

I've always wondered about this. If evolution is a true and natural
thing how come you never see any people with tails as they evolve from
monkeys or monkeys who are becoming people?

Because we did not evolve from monkys.

We evolved from us as we were then and will continue to evolve into us
as we will be.
