Mother Teresa to be Canonised
Mother Teresa will become a saint next year, after Pope Francis recognised a second miracle attributed to her
The miracle involved the healing of a Brazilian man with several brain tumours in 2008, the Vatican said.
Mother Teresa died in 1997 and was Beatified —the first step towards sainthood—in 2003.
She won the Nobel Peace Prize for her work with the poor in the slums of Indian city of Calcutta.
“The Holy Father has authorised the Congregation for the Causes of Saints to proclaim the decree concerning the miracle attributed to the intercession of blessed Mother Teresa,” a Vatican statement released today said.
Her Canonisation is expected to take place in Rome in September.
There are few details about the recovery of the Brazilian man, whose life the Vatican says was saved in the second miracle.
His identity has not been disclosed to maintain the discretion needed for the investigation but he was cured from brain tumours in 2008 after his priest prayed for Mother Teresa’s intervention with God.
