Pope Francis has recognised a second medical miracle attributed to the late Mother Teresa, clearing the path for the beloved nun to be elevated to sainthood next year.
Mother Teresa, celebrated for her work with the poor in the Indian city of Kolkata, is expected to be officially canonised in Rome on September 4 as part the pope's Jubilee year of mercy, according to the newspaper's Vatican expert Stefania Falasca.
The move comes after a panel of experts, convened three days ago by the Congregation for the Causes of the Saints, attributed a miraculous healing of a Brazilian man with multiple brain tumours to Mother Teresa, Avvenire newspaper reported.
Teresa, who was born to Albanian parents in what is now Skopje in Macedonia, was known across the world for her charity work. She died in 1997 at the age of 87.
Nicknamed the "Saint of the Gutters", she dedicated her life to the poor, the sick and the dying in the slums of Kolkata, one of India's biggest cities. She won a Nobel Peace Prize in 1979.
She was beatified by then pope John Paul II in a fast-tracked process in 2003, in a ceremony attended by some 300,000 pilgrims. Beatification is a first step towards sainthood.
The traditional canonisation procedure requires at least two miracles.
Don't see why we should ascribe bogus miracles to Mother Teresa for Vatican mumbo jumbo of sainthood. Its enough to be a good human being.
