Novena to ST. MOTHER TERESA
Mother Teresa’s Miracles and Canonization
In 2002, the Vatican recognized a miracle—
an Indian woman named Monica Besra,
said she was cured of an abdominal tumor—
through Mother Teresa's intercession
on the one-year anniversary of her death in 1998.
She was beatified (declared to be in heaven)
as "Blessed Teresa of Calcutta" on October 19, 2003,
by Pope John Paul II.
On December 17, 2015, Pope Francis issued a decree that recognized a second miracle attributed to Mother Teresa,
clearing the way for her to be
canonized as a saint of the Roman Catholic Church.
The second miracle involved the healing of Marcilio Andrino,
a Brazilian man diagnosed with a viral brain infection
who lapsed into a coma.
His wife, family and friends prayed to Mother Teresa,
and when he arrived in the operating room for emergency surgery,
he woke up without pain
and was cured of his symptoms,
according to a statement from the Missionaries of Charity.
Mother Teresa was canonized as a saint on September 4, 2016,
a day before the 19th anniversary of her death.
You can start your novena on her Feast day: September 5
