The whole world commemorates today the 8th anniversary of the canonization of the outstanding humanist Mother Teresa.
The consecration of Mother Teresa, on September 4, 2016, made the Albanian nun immortal in the eyes of Catholics, but also of the whole world.
Pope Francis recognized her two miracles of healing the sick after her death in 1997. The nun was 'beatified' in October 2003 by Pope John Paul II. He approved the first miracle after her death.
A 30-year-old woman in Calcutta said she was cured of a stomach tumor after Mother Teresa's prayers. A Vatican committee said it could find no scientific explanation for her recovery and declared it a miracle.
Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu, whose name she changed to Mother Teresa, was born in 1910 to Albanian parents. At the age of 18, she left Skopje, North Macedonia, to join the Loreto Sisters in Ireland, and from that day on she would not see her parents again.
Its mission was transferred to Calcutta. There she felt that she had come into the world to serve the poor and people at the end of life on the streets of the Indian city.
" I am Albanian by blood. I am Indian by nationality. I am a Catholic nun by faith. My craft is to belong to the world. While my heart belongs entirely to the Heart of Jesus, " Mother Teresa would say.
She visited Albania for the first time in August 1989, while ten years earlier, in 1979, she won the Nobel Peace Prize.
September 5 is an official holiday in Albania.
The Council of Ministers approved an amendment to the law "On official holidays" in the country, according to which September 19, which is Mother Teresa's Beatification Day, should be replaced by September 5, the Day of her Sanctification.
