1.关于德肋撒嬷嬷（Mother Teresa)
此剧一开头就是1997的加尔各答，德肋撒嬷嬷在临终时受到魔鬼的侵扰。
德肋撒嬷嬷可以说是20世纪最有名的天主教人物之一，她获得了1979年的诺贝尔和平奖，在印度做了很多善功，本片就是以嬷嬷的封圣程序作为引子的。
但是很明显的，德肋撒嬷嬷其实也有很多方面遭到批评的，如片头所述德肋撒嬷嬷在健康恶化时, 她认为这是受到魔鬼的附身, 请求梵蒂冈的神职人员给她驱魔。
还有就是未经同意就为回教徒和印度教徒洗礼的问题，片中也讲到。
以至于在嬷嬷身后，作为封圣程序必须的奇迹也有造假的嫌疑，片中印度人Vimal的事似乎也影射这点。
毕竟圣人也是有缺点的，也许我们应该更加客观的看待一个人。作者: Iscariot 时间: 2009-10-1 11:41
2. 约翰‧纽曼枢机（John Henry Newman）
片头Vimal为德肋撒嬷嬷祈祷的祈祷文就是约翰‧纽曼枢机写的。全文如下：
Dear Jesus, help me to spread Your fragrance everywhere I go. Flood my soul with Your Spirit and Life. Penetrate and possess my whole being so utterly that my life may only be a radiance of Yours. Shine through me and be so in me that every soul I come in contact with may feel Your presence in my soul. Let them look up and see no longer me but only Jesus! Stay with me and then I shall begin to shine as You shine, so to shine as to be a light to others. The light, O Jesus, will be all from You; none of it will be mine. It will be You, shining on others through me. Let me thus praise You in the way which You love best, by shining on those around me. Let me preach You without preaching, not by my words but by my example, by the catching force, the sympathetic influence of what I do, the evident fullness of the love my heart bears for You. Amen.
