What really prompted Mother Teresa to start her new order?

Reading about an American Saint: Mother Cabrini. She asked herself: why cannot I not do for India what she did for America? In this Mother Teresa reminds us of St Ignatius of Loyola. He was inspired to lead a more way of life by reading about St Dominic and St Francis. Why not be like them?

Besides the hesitation of the Archbishop of Calcutta, did Mother Teresa herself cause herself to suffer?

It seems so. While on retreat in May 1947, with the purpose of answering all the Archbishop’s questions about the new institute, Mother went through five days of intense doubts. Was she betraying her Loretto vows? This desolation passed, but it saddened Our Lord. Why?
