We do not know, only God knows each one of us. It is not enough to hear good things for the person and use it to put bestow something that isnt appropriate. I most believed to cast lot and if she really is a saint, God will give the yes.

I am not Catholic and do not believe that some people are saints and above other believers. In the Scripture, believers are ALL called saints.
With that in mind, it is not up to me to decide if the Catholic church wants to call this woman a "saint" and start praying to her. I have no doubt that some Catholics pray to her already.
In any case, according to the Catholic church's criteria, she surely qualified. While I will never view her as a "saint' in the way Catholics do, I know something of her life and dedication to God, and so have a great respect for her and her devotion. I cannot see how anyone could argue against her being cannonized as a "saint" within the Catholic church. My respect for her is huge... but I will never kneel before anyone but Christ Himself.

She is a saint and so are you and so am I. We are all saints. What is important is how God views us, not how man views us. She however took Jesus' love and did what most of the rest of us saints could not. But that is not to say we don't live for God everyday. That is not to say we aren't doing other things to help the betterment of mankind. She was a wonderful lady. I wish we all had that the capability to be a martyr. Alas, we are not perfect as I'm sure she wasn't. God has a different plan for each and everyone of us. Have a lovely day!

well, since this is your homework (you posted in homework help) why don't you tell me with a persuasive argument why or why not Mother Teresa should be a saint. Also remember your instructor will be looking for grammar and spelling errors as well as how you present your argument

Writing a Persuasive Essay
In a persuasive essay you are going to try to convince the reader that your point of view is best. To accomplish this, you must chose a topic which is clear and to the point and one which has more than one side that can be debated. It is important that you understand the other sides of the position so that you can give strong reasons why your way is best. In your essay, you will only present one side.
Like all kinds of five paragraph essays, there is a specific format to be followed.

Definition:
Persuasive writing works to convince the reader that a point of view is valid or persuades the reader to take specific action. It is based on a topic that is limited in scope, manageable, and debatable; a topic about which there could be more than one point of view.

Well unless the rules of sainthood have changed, the potential saint has to perform some type of miracle. I know she was an amazing person but I don't think there were any miracles as such. So she doesn't qualify according to the rules for canonization.

well for starters mother terisa gave money to a known terrorist orginazation, not nesicarily a sin, but most likely not in gods will. after all the money undoubtly funded sinful activities. and she has only supposedly cured the stomach cancer of a woman in india, it has not and can not be confirmed. miracles are in the eye of the beholder not in the fact of the topic. she doesn't deserve the term saint, but its ok cause it woldn't be the first stupid thing the catholic church said or did.

Unless she played for St Helens Rugby League, then no, she shouldn't be conidered a Saint! I never saw her in Center/scrum half positions.

Nope. No human being on earth, past, present or future deserves to be a saint.
