Pope Francis will on September 4th this year declare Mother Teresa of Kolkata a Saint. Mother Theresa who is affectionately known as the “saint of the gutter” for her unconditional ‎love ‎for the poor, abandoned and marginalized, was beautified in 2003 by Pope John Paul II after being attributed to a first miracle, answering an Indian woman’s prayers to cure her brain tumor, according to the Vatican.

Pope Francis officially cleared Mother Teresa for sainthood on Dec. 17th last year after her “miraculous healing” of a Brazilian man with multiple brain abscesses, the Vatican said.

Born Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu‎ on ‎August 26, 1910, in Skopje, in what ‎is now ‎Macedonia, Mother Teresa died in Kolkata, formerly Calcutta, on September 5th ‎‎1997.
