Pope Francis announced that Mother Teresa, the nun who dedicated her life to helping the poor people in India, will become a saint on September 4. The date recalls the eve of the anniversary of Teresa’s death, that occurred on September 5 in 1997. In December, Francis recognized the second miracle for the healing of a Brazilian man with multiple brain tumors after loved ones prayed to her to heal him.
She was an Albanian Roman Catholic religious sister and missionary. She was born in Skopje, then part of the Kosovo Vilayet in the Ottoman Empire. After having lived in Macedonia for some eighteen years, she moved to Ireland and then to India, where she lived for most of her life.
