Hey Sapper nice question,I notice some answers are saying that no this would be wrong as we should only worship God,gee who mentioned worshipping Mother Teresa? more dyed in the wool literal nonsense.
Saints are not worshipped, they are admired as examples of living the Gospel of Christ as perfectly as we humans can,and Mother Teresa was certainly such a person,surely no one could be as mean or shallow enough to deny this great Christian her place in Heaven, and the crown of glory for finishing the race that Paul talked about.

Nowhere interior the object does it even hint that her doubts have been so severe that they bordered on atheism. you're including to the seriousness of those doubts on your guy or woman. She did extra for the international than you or I did or will do. I have not have been given any undertaking with the Catholic church cononising her as a saint. the only quote re: doubt that i've got actual study everywhere so some distance is that she could not experience the presence of God any further. per risk it fairly is using fact he became into calling her residing house to be in his presence there. we will by no skill understand. And any Christian who has by no skill had doubts is the two mendacity or hasn't lived long sufficient to have any annoying existence studies yet.

She was beatified by Pope John Paul II in October 2003, resulting in her new title, The Blessed Mother Theresa.
I have full faith that she will be Canonized by the Church in due time. All those prayers that have been answered from her will be known and we'll all understand that she's in Heaven with God.

So she led an exemplary life, but compared to who? Certainly not compared to Jesus. She was human as we all are. If she should be canonized then we all should

Yes. I for one believe she was a true saint, and even my pagan friends agree. That woman lived and breathed God's work, sacrificing all of herself for others.

She was an extraordinary person and I admire her greatly. But I do not believe in "canonizing" people. All born-again believers are "saints" in the eyes of God.

We can't make that decision. God will let us know if she is in Heaven and if He wants her held up as an example if He lets miracles be worked through her intercession. One miracle so far, but another is needed as positive proof.

The Roman catholics can do whatever they like with her. It has no real meaning anyway.... you need to do some research... there is evidence that she did not do much except raise a lot of money that did very little for the poor and did a lot for her orginization... she was best at PR and not so good at actualy helping where the real need was... a lot of local orginizations where she supposadly "helped" say she did little or nothing..... just a lot of PR media propoganda...

I'm not catholic, so I don't think any church has the ability to say who's a saint and who isn't, but "if" anyone during my lifetime would be one, I'd have to bet on her.

God tells us not to worship idols. He is our only God. An idol like Mother Teresa and the Pope should NOT be worshiped. They can be recogonised as wonderful people, but NOT worshiped!
