That is rather reminiscent of "you cant trust people to spend their own money" from our labour spokes man.

That's a really interesting comment, Jim, because until I read your post it had not occurred to me that Mother Theresa's comment can be read two ways.

The way I read it was as a joke - that if God won't give you more than He thinks you can handle, then His having a high opinion of you could be a mixed blessing.

However, if you took it literally and to its' logical conclusion, it would indeed mean something similar to the McTernan quote.
