Frederick: The impending canonization of the Blessed Mother Teresa is a matter of serious concern to many of us. Her formal elevation to the pedestal of Roman Catholic Hagiology will be a crowning moment in the History of the Church.
We live in troubled times and it is appropriate that we honor holy and worthy personages with accolades in a timely manner where fully deserved. It is an effective way to promote peace and harmony in the world. I'm very pleased you're proactively promoting the cause of " The Saint of the Gutters". It's long overdue. Her missionary zeal ranks with the great St Francis Xavier's. It seems people of other religious denominations have given the Church the lead in giving this humdinger of a humanitarian in the name of Christ her rightful place in the Book of Saints. We hope and pray the process of canonization of Mother Teresa will be handled with greater alacrity and enthusiasm for the sake of the Church and Humanity. Her highest veneration is for the Glory of Christ. It took the Church over 500 years to canonize St Joan of Arc. Let's hope we don't have to endure undue procrastination in case of Mother Teresa. Honor delayed is honor denied.
