Lobo, who headed the canonisation committee, reported that Christ had said to Mother Teresa in a vision, \u201cGo into the houses, I cannot go alone, you be my face.\u201d Indeed, \u201cfor the world today she has become the face of Christ\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Bishop Lobo said that Hindus as well are convinced that she was a saint, \u201cSome Hindus wonder why the church needs to go through a canonisation process. They say, \u2018Mother Teresa was a saint anyway. But if the church needs these formalities, then so be it.\u2019\u201d The Hindus also understand \u201cservice to the poor as being service to God\u201d. The bishop reported that during the beatification process as well, a large number of witnesses had come forth that were Hindus, Muslims or Parsees. He described the canonisation as \u201ca great joy\u201d for all of India.<\/p>\n<p>Bishop Lobo, who had already met Mother Teresa as a young seminarian and had at that point decided to wash the dying at her \u201cKalighat\u201d hospice in Calcuttaas a volunteer, described his first impression of her as that of a \u201ctransformative saint\u201d who \u201cemanated the personification of Christ\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cShe taught the world a lesson: Jesus lives in the hearts of the poor. We shall find His face in them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mother Teresa was born Anjez\u00eb (Agnes) GonxhaBojaxhiu on 26 August 1910 in Skopje (at the time part of the Ottoman Empire, today Macedonia). Her family was Albanian. At the age of 18, she entered the Order of the Loreto Sisters. Soon thereafter she was sent to India, where she worked as a teacher until she felt the calling to serve the poor in 1946. At first she went alone into the slums of Calcutta, but was then joined by several former students. She founded the order of the \u201cMissionaries of Charity\u201d, which continues to take care of the poorest of the poor all over the world today.<\/p>\n<p>Mother Teresa was already considered a saint during her lifetime and became famous the world over as the \u201cAngel of the Poor\u201d. She received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979. She died on 5 September 1997 in Calcutta (India). Pope John Paul II beatified her on 19 October 2003, only six years after her death. She will be canonised in Romeon 4 September 2016. Her liturgical feast day is on 5 September.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><em>Eva-Maria Kolmann<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>INDIA &#8211;\u00a0\u201cMother Teresa was the best missionary of the millennium\u201d \u00a0 Bishop Salvadore Lobo of Baruipur described the Blessed Teresa of Calcutta, who will be canonised by Pope Francis on 4 September, as the \u201cbest missionary of the millennium\u201d.
