Archbishop of Calcutta: Miracle for Bl. Teresa a "Christmas gift"


(Vatican Radio) The Church in Kolkata is celebrating the news that the final miracle needed for the canonization of Blessed Mother Teresa has been approved.

“It is a real Christmas gift that the Holy Father has given, especially the Church in Kolkata,” said Archbishop Thomas D’Souza, the Archbishop of Calcutta [Kolkata].

Listen to the interview with Archbishop Thomas D’Souza:

“We were waiting for this moment, since many years really, and now that it has come we are very happy, overjoyed,” he told Vatican Radio.

Archbishop D’Souza said it is significant the announcement has been made during the Jubilee of Mercy.

“Her entire life was spent doing works of mercy,” he said. “Her entire life was spent in service to the poor…she was reflecting God’s love here among the poorest of the poor, and so it comes as a very significant event in this Year of Mercy that the Holy Father has given to the Church.”
