Canonisation of Mother Teresa

  

Mother Teresa of Calcutta will be canonised a saint on Sunday 4 September in Rome by Pope Francis.

  

Fr Paul Murray OP - a native of the Diocese - gave a lecture in 2013 on the spirituality of Mother Teresa which can be viewed on YouTube.

Offering reflections from his book, "I Loved Jesus in the Night", he provides a compelling account of meetings with the saint of Calcutta. Sharing anecdotes and first-hand experiences, Fr. Murray offers a glimpse into why Mother Teresa could declare, in one of her letters, that if ever she were to "become a saint," she would surely be one of "darkness."
