Pope Francis has authorised the canonisation of Blessed Mother Teresa, after the Vatican announced it has recognised a second miracle attributed to her.
A statement released by the Vatican said: “The Holy Father Francis received in private audience Cardinal Angelo Amato SDB, prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints.
“At the hearing, the Holy Father authorised the Congregation to promulgate the decree regarding: The miracle attributed to the intercession of Blessed Teresa of Calcutta, foundress of the Congregation of the Missionaries of Charity and the Missionaries of Charity; born August 26, 1910 and died September 5, 1997.”
The Archbishop of Kolkata said that Pope Francis has confirmed that the curing of a Brazilian man suffering from multiple brain tumours in 2008 can be attributed to the miraculous intercession of Mother Teresa.
According to the Catholic newspaper, Avvenire, Mother Teresa is expected to be canonised on September 4 as part of the Pope’s Jubilee Year of Mercy.
