Mother Teresa
A vigil in preparation for the canonization of Mother Teresa, is held in St. John in Latheran Basilica, Rome. For many of the poor and destitute whom Mother Teresa served, the tiny nun was a living saint. Many at the Vatican would agree, but the Catholic Church nevertheless has a grueling process to make it official, involving volumes of historical research, the hunt for miracles and teams of experts to weigh the evidence.
