Pope Francis has announced that Mother Teresa, a nun who dedicated her life to helping the poor in India, will become a saint on September 4.

The date on which she will be proclaimed a saint falls on the eve of the anniversary of her death, which occurred on September 5, 1997.

In December, Francis announced that Mother Teresa would become a saint after recognizing a second miracle attributed to her: the healing of a Brazilian man with multiple brain tumors after loved ones prayed to her to heal him, the Italian Catholic bishops' association's official newspaper Avvenire reported. That miracle occurred after her death.

The nun was beatified in October 2003 by now deceased Pope John Paul II. He approved a first posthumous miracle.

A 30-year-old woman in Kolkata said she was cured of a stomach tumor after praying to Mother Teresa. A Vatican committee said it could find no scientific explanation for her healing and declared it a miracle.

Mother Teresa was born in 1910 in Albania and baptized Gonxha Agnes.

At age 18, she joined an Irish convent, where she received the name Sister Mary Teresa. Months later, she left for India, landing in Kolkata, the city then known as Calcutta, in January 1929. She taught at St. Mary's School for girls.

There, she took her Final Profession of Vows and became Mother Teresa. Nearly 20 years later, during a train ride in India, she felt a calling from Jesus to care for the poor, her Vatican biography said. She established Missionaries of Charity to serve the poorest of all.

In 1948, she donned her iconic white sari with blue trim for the first time and walked out of her convent to start her life caring for the poor. She washed the wounded, cared for the sick and dying, and some of her former students joined her over time. She spread her work throughout India.

Mother Teresa won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979.

Pope John Paul II waived the requirement of waiting five years after a person's death to pursue the path to sainthood and opened Mother Teresa's Cause of Canonization less than two years after her death.

Great!

Roman catholic saint!

And father Tansi is yet to be made saint. Ok now continue whites

For real?

Iwene tansi has been stalled and forgotten for decades but John Paul was made a saint as fast as possible and Mother Theresa joins the ranks soon.

This is enough to show Africans these foreign religions are a One sided Romance... You are being taken for granted for rejecting your root to adopt one that has nothing to do with you.

Enjoy it..

More so "A black African or even a Black earthling" has never being made a pope... The whites see you as inferiors.

Time for emancipation is now and self realization..

She deserves it.

Mother Teresa has now become God that can heal.

Well, She is either in Heaven or in Hell and don't have any Power to heal any body. The demon in charge of Idolatry in Catholic is responsible for the healing.

The next thing will be to mold the image of mother Teresa and start worshiping it. No true catholic will make Heaven because of Idolatry.God is a jealous God. Due 20.4 'Thou shall not make unto thee any image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth'

Pope,has no prerogative to make any one saint.but God that has.
