Thirty-five thousand pages of documents attesting to the virtues and shortcomings of Mother Teresa have arrived in Monsignor Robert Sarno's office on Vatican square. In one of the most detailed cases of sainthood brought before the Vatican, Sarno, an official whose job it is to make saints, had to order the investigation to be closed because of the enormous amount of evidence in the case. Over 100 witness have testified about her life of charity far more than in most cases. Sarno, of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, told CNN: "With Mother Teresa as with any other cause, you are looking to see what God is saying to the church, what God is saying to the world through the individual ... through Mother Teresa." The Catholic church believes the lives of saints can set an example for believers, showing them how ordinary people do extraordinary things for their faith.

I have called you by your name... You are mine... You are precious to Me... I love you. Isaiah As we have gathered here together to thank God for the Nobel Peace Prize, I think it will be beautiful that we pray the prayer of St. Francis of Assisi which always surprises me very much. We pray this prayer every day after Holy Communion, because it is very fitting for each one of us. And I always wonder that 400-500 years ago when St. Francis of Assisi composed this prayer, they had the same difficulties that we have today as we compose this prayer that fits very nicely for us also. I think some of you already have got it - so we pray together: Let us thank God for the opportunity that we all have together today, for this gift of peace that reminds us that we have been created to live that peace, and that Jesus became man to bring that good news to the poor. He, being God, became man in all things like us except in sin, and he proclaimed very clearly that he had come to give the good news. The news was peace to all of good will and this is something that we all want - the peace of heart. Ad God loved the world so much that he gave his son - it was a giving: it is as much as if to say it hurt God to give, because he loved the world so much that he gave his son. He gave him to the Virgin Mary, and what did she do with him?

Mommie Dearest The pope beatifies Mother Teresa, a fanatic, a fundamentalist, and a fraud. By Christopher Hitchens Posted Monday, Oct. 20, 2003, at 1:04 PM PT Mother Teresa: No saint I think it was Macaulay who said that the Roman Catholic Church deserved great credit for, and owed its longevity to, its ability to handle and contain fanaticism. This rather oblique compliment belongs to a more serious age. What is so striking about the "beatification" of the woman who styled herself "Mother" Teresa is the abject surrender, on the part of the church, to the forces of showbiz, superstition, and populism. It's the sheer tawdriness that strikes the eye first of all. It used to be that a person could not even be nominated for "beatification," the first step to "sainthood," until five years after his or her death. This was to guard against local or popular enthusiasm in the promotion of dubious characters. The pope nominated MT a year after her death in 1997. It also used to be that an apparatus of inquiry was set in train, including the scrutiny of an advocatus diaboli or "devil's advocate," to test any extraordinary claims. The pope has abolished this office and has created more instant saints than all his predecessors combined as far back as the 16

This week, church officials offered fresh insights into Mother Teresa, the late Roman Catholic nun and Nobel Peace Prize winner known for her lifelong dedication to the poor. The archbishop of Kolkata, formerly known as Calcutta, confirmed this week that a priest performed an exorcism on the nun while she was in the hospital. Henry D'Souza said he ordered the act for fear "the mother, being so holy, could possibly be object of an attack by Satan." The church also released letters this week showing Mother Teresa's painful spiritual struggle during the 1950s and 1960s.

Bibliography Mother Teresa of Calcutta was a Roman Catholic nun and founder of the Missionaries of Charity. In 1979 she was awarded the most prestigious prize in the world, the Nobel Peace Prize, for her humanitarian work. Her labor made her so worthy that, in reality, she gave honor to the prize, rather than the other way around! Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu was born in 1910 to Albanian parents in Skopje, which at the time was under the rule of the Ottoman Empire. (The city is now the capital of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.) When she was 18, she entered the Order of the Sisters of Our Lady of Loreto in Ireland. She trained in Dublin and in Darjeeling, India, before taking her religious vows in 1937. She took the name Teresa from Saint Teresa of Lisieux, the patron saint of foreign missionaries. In September 1946, while riding in a train from Calcutta to Darjeeling to engage in 8 days of spiritual exercises, she received a divine calling from God "to serve Him amongst the poorest of the poor".

@import "/css/default.css"; Home Your account Current issue Archives ... Email to a friend Letter IN DEFENSE OF MOTHER TERESA By James Martin In response to The Shadow Saint July 11, 1996 To the Editors So Mother Teresa isn't perfect. She has, as Murray Kempton noted in his review of Christopher Hitchens's book ["The Shadow Saint," NYR , July 11], accepted donations from dictators and other unsavory characters. Mother also tolerates substandard medical conditions in her hospices. Still, Mr. Kempton's hysterical attack on her is unwarranted and not a little unfair. He protests that Mother Teresa books herself into chic hospitals when falling ill, while her own hospices treat clients with only minimal health care. But anyone familiar with religious orders will be aware that a sick superior is, more often than not, urged by the members of her community to treat herself better than she would if left on her own. Conversely, when poverty-minded superiors are allowed to let their own medical problems go untreated, people profess horror. Such was the case with John Paul I, who died in 1978. As John Cornwell pointed out in his book A Thief in the Night , the papal household were far too deferential to the Pope's instructions not to call for quality medical care even when he was obviously ill. In this case, though, Mother Teresa's subordinates force her to take better care of herself, perhaps against her wishes. Is this a sin against poverty, a hypocrisy, or, more likely, a demonstration of the deep affection of the Missionaries of Charity for their founder?

A smiling portrait of Mother Teresa was unveiled, shortly after the ceremony. The nun will now be known as the Blessed Mother Teresa of Kolkata, one step away from sainthood. Some 450 nuns from Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity are in Vatican City for the three-hour Mass. Residents in Kolkata (formerly Calcutta) are watching the ceremony on giant television screens and celebrate two Masses at the house where she lived, worked, and is buried. Lines of people waited to view an exposition in Rome highlighting key moments of Mother Teresa's life, and the nuns from her charity have set up sleeping tents, following her example of modesty by refusing more comfortable lodgings. The nuns have brought with them 2,000 poor from all corners of the country.

From Satinder Bindra CNN New Delhi Bureau KOLKATA, India (CNN) Mother Teresa, the late Roman Catholic nun whose aid for the poor put her on the path to sainthood, at times felt abandoned by God, according to her recently released letters. The letters, written by Mother Teresa in the 1950s and 1960s to her church spiritual guides, also reveal the troubling and, at times, painful conflicts she sometimes had with her faith. "I am told God lives in me and yet the reality of darkness and coldness and emptiness is so great that nothing touches my soul," she wrote in one of the letters. The letters' release comes days after the archbishop of Kolkata, the city formerly known as Calcutta, said church officials performed an exorcism on Mother Teresa at a hospital later in her life. This act and the letters showed Mother Teresa was "both holy and human," making her even more special, Archbishop Henry D'Souza said.

"Mother" Teresa (1910-1997) General Teachings/Activities - "Mother" Teresa was born Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu of Albanian parents in what is now Yugoslavia/Bosnia on August 27, 1910. She died of a heart attack on September 5, 1997. The diminutive nun arrived in India on January 6, 1929, where she started assisting the needy and eventually established the now-global "Missionaries of Charity" organization. Ultimately, more than 500 missions in 100 countries were established. Yet, "Mother" Teresa, and those who worked with her, never tried to convert to Christ the dying people for whom they cared. Instead, "Mother" Teresa declared: "If in coming face to face with God we accept Him in our lives, then we are converting. We become a better Hindu, a better Muslim, a better Catholic , a better whatever we are. ... What God is in your mind you must accept" (from Mother Teresa: Her People and Her Work , by Desmond Doig, p. 156). - How did "Mother" Teresa become such a great symbol of charity and saintliness? Her break into stardom came when Malcolm Muggeridge a very pious British political and social pundit adopted her for his pet cause. In 1969, he made a very famous film about her life and later a book called Something Beautiful for God . Both the book and the film deserve the label hagiography. So it wasn't the result of the propaganda of the "Holy Office," but when the Catholic church realized it had a winner on its hands, it was quick to adopt her. She was a very great favorite of the faithful and a very good advertisement to attract non-believers or non-Catholics. And she was very useful for the current pope as a weapon against reformists and challengers within the church. (Source: "An Interview with Christopher Hitchens on Mother Teresa," Fall 1996
