Overview

On October 19, 2003, Mother Teresa was beatified by Pope John Paul II, barely six years after her death in September 1997. Why did the Church move so quickly to allow Catholics to offer devotion to this famous nun? Popular pressure? Political pressure? Favouritism? In this study of mother Teresa, author Mario Cardinal, an experienced journalist, examines the process that put her cause for canonization on the fast track. He explores how someone becomes a saint and follows the unique path of the foundress of the Missionaries of Charity's cause. This work is for everyone who wishes to learn how and why one of the best-known personalities of the twentieth century is destined to live on in the hearts of Catholics.
