Mother Teresa of Calcutta is all set to be declared a Saint of the Roman Catholic Church by Pope Francis at 10.30 am on September 4 — 2 pm in India — at a special Mass in St Peter’s Square, Vatican City.
The long journey of a young Albanian girl who left home at 18 to serve the poorest of the poor as a loving mother will culminate with the Canonisation Ceremony at The Vatican.
In spite of her private misery, she persevered, and had a special love for the poor and the marginalized. Mother Teresa, who was beatified in 2003 as "Blessed Teresa of Calcutta", had two verified miracles to her credit.
Widely hailed as a saint during her lifetime for her piety and devotion to the poor, Mother Teresa won worldly accolades, including the Nobel Peace Prize.
