Questions for Maryanne Raphael for tonight's INTERVIEW & WORKSHOP

I do not have the book yet, but I do have questions for Maryanne (the answer may be in the book, but I'm going to ask it anyway):

During your interactions with Mother Teresa and her work, what emotions did you feel and how did you react to them?


What experiences (dreams or miracles, etc) have you had that are most interesting to you and have impacted your life the most?


Are there any other experiences that were left out of the book (for whatever reason)?

Hi Selene and Sandy ~ WE hope to see you both this evening in the INTERVIEW and WORKSHOP!

You will find both LINKS here in Dream Depths Gather Group in the FEATURED ARTICLES section for this evening!

Thank you both for your kind and inspirational words.

Blessings ~
Rene

Hi Selene and Sandy, Thanks for stopping by. Hope you can make the workshop this evening.

Hello Renda, Whenever I was with Mother Teresa I felt awe. There was something so special about her. it was like a preview of being in Heaven. She gave each person she spoke with attention like we had never had before. You could be in a huge room full of people and while she spoke with you you felt you were the only one there with her. I had never felt that way before. She seemed so interested in every word I said. If I mentioned a need for prayer, she would stop what she was doing or saying and "Let's pray for it now." And when she finished praying we would say a prayer of thanksgiving." While I was working with Mother, I saw poverty I had never seen before, people in zero degree weather with no heat and no shoes, but Mother helped me see Poverty in a new way, as a gift Jesus gave us to help us learn to love one another. Mother Teresa always said, "The poor have so much to teach us. They really care for one another. And many of the poorest of the poor are eager to share everythng they have.
I had to leave many interesting experiences out of the book because there was not enough room for them. The publishers wanted a book that was not too large. They told when I had to stop writing.
What miracles have I had that impacted my life the most. It seems a miracle to me to get to meet and work with Mother Teresa and that has enriched my life. I had a life-threatening brain tumor and was warned I might not survive the ten hour operation. Everyone I knew was praying for me, even my Atheist friends and all the doctors exclaimed it was a miracle how I survived and healed so beautifully.
Recently I had a dream that was very special to me. My friend Rose Rita, a co-worker of Mother Teresa and a real saint herself died two years ago. A month ago I dreamed she came to tell me how lovely heaven is. She said, "It's like a puzzle with many tiny pieces and they come together to make an unbelievable beauty. There is only one problem. It is not complete. SOme pieces are missing. And you all are the pieces.
I asked her a question and she said, "The answer is Yes and No." I woke up and I have been trying to remember the question.
Love and prayers Maryanne
