Mother Teresa, a Catholic nun who devoted her life to helping India’s poor, has been declared a saint in a canonization Mass held by Pope Francis in the Vatican.
Pope Francis delivered the formula for the canonization of the Albanian-born nun — known as the “saint of the gutters” — before huge crowds of pilgrims gathered in St. Peter’s Square in Vatican City on Sunday morning.
Applause broke out before he completed the formula of canonization, in which he declared “Blessed Teresa of Calcutta to be a saint.”
Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta said: “God will not ask you if you succeeded. He will ask you if you tried.”
I came across a Catholic Website which has a lot of Catholic information and others. One of it contains some words of Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta. It is too much to state on this Website. I have not returned to that Website although I had planned to – sometime.
The Website is: http://www.catholicbible101.com
Catholics especially will note some interesting articles on Catholic teaching and other explanatory ones. It is an informative and interesting Website. The information is an eye-opener.
Another fake saint to whom only the devil will pray. Huffington Post has this to say about Teresa – http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/04/mother-teresa-myth_n_2805697.html
Teresa saw beauty in the downtrodden’s suffering and was far more willing to pray for them than provide practical medical care. It seems that the Vatican engaged in a PR ploy as it dismissed concerns about her suspicious financial dealings and contacts to forgo the five-year waiting period to beatify her and later sanctify that evil woman.
Researcher Serge Larivee of the University of Montreal’s department of psychoeducation, told the school’s website, “Given the parsimonious management of Mother Teresa’s works, one may ask where the millions of dollars for the poorest of the poor have gone?” The research paper claims that the celebrated nun had 517 missions in 100 countries at the time of her death, but the millions she took for their upkeep were missing. An evil saint!
skeritt should send an application to the Pope…
You made me laugh.
Why mention the PM’s name in this? What about you? You send your application to the Pope. 
Know that, in reality it is not the Pope who made her a Saint. God made her a Saint. He declared it to the world. It is by God’s grace that she became one. He gave her the will, the strength, patience and stamina too, to perform such a godly work among the poor. How many of us would be capable of doing that and persevere in it? God gave her a special grace. She cooperated with His grace and in prayer.
She has somewhat shocked and rocked the world, those rich people who hoard their money and do not help the poor. A little woman/lady/nun and she did so much. She is to be commended and deserves God’s exaltation to sainthood.
If you know about Holy Scripture, “Humble yourself before the Lord (also before people) and you will be exalted in due time.” This is Saint, Mother Teresa of Calcutta. God has blest her soul forever.
Remember, the Pope has told Dominica that it MUST stop polluting the air as this will bring on faster climate change when the oceans will rise and make Dominica a pimple in the ocean.
In the meantime, we will all find it more expensive to by petrol, oil, gas, electricity and, of course, we will be asked to consume less??? I wonder who is paying that fat, horrible man who worships the devil. You think he doesn’t? Google: “pope openly worships lucifer” and also “pope says Jesus Christ was nothing special”.
May he rot in hell.
Hmph! When this story first came out on DNO I said to myself, “How come the holy rollers haven’t hijacked that blog yet”?
Seems I spoke too soon.
We must do our best to be explicit. To be precise, there are words some of us never use nor heard of. Prior to commenting, explain to us readers who do you mean by the “holy rollers? It could mean both, the positive and the critics. Therefore, which one of this category you referred to?
People are yet to realize that the Pope and the Catholic Church were created by man to perpetuate the myth of Christianity..So many variations exist yet God remains silent..
The Pope and the Church itself is moving with time, What all powerful God would allow people to be burnt at the stakes because they held the Bible in another language other than Latin?
“What profit has not that fable of Christ brought us!” Pope Leo X
Mother Teresa being declared a saint..is a charade only to occupy time and space and sadly also the minds on Men..
It may be that a “God or multiple Gods exist” but man has no idea of the things they claim and perpetuate regarding GOD. The experience of God to man are hunches stemming from his very own imagination..Man has created GOD in his own Image..Think about it..
Don’t wonder why the Black Man was a slave for 400 years.. Christianity made sure of that by eradicating the man’s ability to rationalize..Ask the pope to pray when he’s sick..He’ll…
It sounds as if you are an expert and know everything which lacks the truth. One day you will find out your error. If you heard this from someone, woe to both of you, atheists.
For those who believe no explanation is necessary.
For those who do not believe, no explanation is possible.
@LifeandDeath September 6, 2016 \”So many variations exist yet God remains silent\” .
Right here, you are wrong already, for I know that God IS NOT SILENT but the human ears cannot hear Him, because those ears are grounded in paying attention to the things of RELGION –that is the variation that you are speaking about.
God said about the practice of RELIGION through the Prophet Isaiah and Jesus, Himself @Matthew 15: 6-9
\”Thus you have made the commandment of God of no effect by your tradition. Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying: ‘These people draw near to Me with their mouth, and honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. And in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men\”
Now this is only one of the many grievances which God speaks against those who claim to belong to Him. Make sure that you are well informed before you speak about God. He is not a God of Religion.
The Book of Acts said: \”And the disciples were first called Christians at Antioch\” at Chapter 11: Verse 26
Therefore a Christian must be identified as, and demonstrating the attitude and conducts as of a disciple of Christ Jesus, His motto of Life is Love.
Jesus said to us: \”Come to Me all of you who labor and are heavy laden, I will give you rest\” Matthew 11:28
And again He said: \”Behold I stand at the door and knock , if anyone hears My voice and opens the door I will come in to eat with him and him with Me\” Revelation 3: 20
In other words Jesus is asking us to maintain a RELATIONSHIP Him personally, and through fellowship with our congregation–which is the Church–that is not what RELIGION does; the Roman Catholic Church is conformed to the things of RELIGION; that includes their canonizing of people who are already in their grave.
Once again, be in tact what you are about to speak before you do so
The “all powerful God” had absolutely nothing to do with burning people at the stake. That was the work of the devil. The very fact that the Roman Catholic Church did this is proof that it is not an organization from God.
Also the implied quote from Pope X is distorted and out of context. It is possible to find isolated statements in the writings of many famous men that can be twisted and used to prove something contrary to what they actually believed and wished to convey. An ethical journalist does not do this.
When and how did Christianity eradicate the Black man’s ability to rationalize? This is a lie
There is nothing wrong with the Black man’s mental abilities. The Black men I know are intelligent, and sharp as a tack! I know many successful Black bishops of large and growing churches. Their congregations include the cream of society. It has been an honor to serve them in the gospel.
Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill. Evangelist.
Most black dudes are kinda dumb. You know that as well as I do. They 100% believe everything the white man says. Even today we have a black man in the office of President of the USA who is a puppet for his white masters who have him killing black men in Africa and the middle east on a day by day basis and holding them in jail without trial forever.
Black dudes need a reality check, they really do
You commenced with, “People are yet to realize . . . ” Always generalizing, eh? As if you are in their minds and know what is contained in them.
:twiste
Just who are you referring to? What you insinuated is that you are an expert, know everything and know more than others, as if God told you so. The latter is far from that and the truth.
God does not set up his enemies, of His Catholic Church and of souls against Himself. This is how godly enlightened people and those with some degree of intelligence know how wrong you are.
This is where people as you gravely err, based on your ungodly warped opinion which has no truth in it and which lead the tepid of faith, atheists and agnostics as you further astray, from the truth and further into condemning themselves.
You speak on behalf of all Dominicans and the entire world for that matter; not smart at all, FOOL! This is the work of Satan!
Who gave the pope that authority ?
No one has that power
You can become a saint before die,
By accepting him as saviour and Lord
It time people awake and stop beging fool
Mother T was a good woman hope she repented before she died
If you were smart and godly enlightened, you would know and accept the Pope is the Head of the Catholic Church. Although Satan knows who gave the Pope the authority, he will still embed in you such a question which is merely meant to lead you/others astray and bring out further the critics and enemies of the Catholic Church.
Know that the Pope’s obligation as Pontiff, as Our Lord Jesus Christ’s Vicar, His representative of His Catholic Church has absolutely nothing to do with you since you project that you are either a fallen away Catholic and non-believer. Therefore, you should not even question it.
You are not interested in learning anything about the Catholic Faith. You are wickedly interfering in what which does not concern you.instead of doing your utmost to save your soul.
God The Father, God The Son and God The Holy Spirit gave the Holy Father, Pope Francis I this authority. Christian Catholics know it.
You are no expert on Catholicism because you either rejected it or never was one.
The world knows Mother T’s life was one of sacrifice and consistent good works. She had nothing to repent.
If people live a godly life, of good works, it should project to the godly enlightened that their life is a life of repentance to God, to also make up for the sins of the world, as yours. God knows your heart. Therefore, repent, cease your criticisms against the Catholic Faith and conform to the Holy Will of God. This is the only way you and other critics could ever hope to obtain eternal salvation. Otherwise, woe to you for all eternity.
It is a grave error many of you non-Catholics make, living in total ignorance of the truth, through disobedience and rebelliousness, thinking you are correct when you are not. God knows this too well.
Broad is the way that leads to destruction and many are travelling on that road…Narrow is the way that leads to life and few are finding that road…Those were the words of the MESSIAH YESHUA (JESUS), not mine..If HE doesn’t know it all and know it the best..Then I do not know who will….
Again…saints are living people..when Paul address the faithfuls in some of his letters that’s how he saluted them…
JEHOVAH ( GOD ) takes no pleasure in the dead…We do…it’s for that reason under the mosaic covenant the dead was considered unclean…When one dies that the end of the story…final chapter end…book close….That’s it…
Holy people are not dead in the sense of the word. They are very much alive in the Lord.
Some people think they know it all and are perfect in everything, that God created them; not others, that He is pleased with them and not others. What a grave error on their part.
These fail to see the big picture of those who served the Lord with all their heart and soul during their lifetime. It must not be overlooked.
Millions of people worldwide who knew Saint, Mother Teresa of Calcutta cannot be wrong. Many of them rank among people of stature. The critics are in the minority. The majority always win.
The critics are behind. Their day is coming. What will be their lot? They must ensure they serve the Lord.
God takes no pleasure in those who criticize the Catholic Church. Someone whose parents were communists as himself and converted to Catholicism, wrote a book entitled: “The Catholic Church Has The Answers.” I copied a page of it and distributed it.
Read about the crook/ fraud \’Saint\’ Mother Teresa here: http://knowledgenuts.com/2013/09/27/mother-teresa-was-a-crook-and-a-fraud/
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/04/mother-teresa-myth_n_2805697.html
By the way, everything that this Roman Catholic Church of Satan does is 100% against the Bible.: a) Roseau Cathedral – littered with statues of demon statues when the bible decrees that it is NOT OK for us to bow down to, or worship ANY graven images; b) Image of Jesus portrayed by the RCC – nothing more than that of the debauched homosexual Cesare Borgia????
Yes folks, we have been worshiping images of a long-haired Jesus (when the bible specifically states that long hair worn by a man is an ABOMINATION!!!. Jesus Christ looked nothing like Cesare Borgia, most likely is that he looked more like us (dark-skinned), see: http://watchmanreports.com/m/articles/view/False-Image-of-Christ-Idolatry. By the way, did you also know that the RCC SUNDAY isn\’t the Sabbath?? It…
There are some statements that God will not forgive. I feel sorry for you. By saying that, you are destined for:
Continue to worship Satan and his followers if you must. However, for me and my family, you lot can enjoy the hell you deserve. Read the bible and show me where the post above against the satanic RCC and their fake saints is wong.
Congrats to the Order of Holy Sisters and Nuns- of Mother Theresa throughout the World. may many more Men and women choose to Give their ENTIRE lives as Mother Theresa did to the Good and Salvation of all humankind especially the most poor, marginal and Destitute among us.
LET US ALSO NOT FORGET THE CANONIZATION PROCESS WHICH MUST OCCUR BEFORE SOMEONE IS DECLARED -AN OFFICIIAL SAINT. Saint Paul in the NEW TESTAMENT MAKES SEVERAL REFERENCES TO CHRISTIAN BELIEVERS AS ‘UN-OFFICAL SAINTS’ -See Ephesians 1:1, Philippians 4:21. HOWEVER, OFFICIAL SAINTS ARE ONLY DECLARED BY THE CHURCH (AS THE LORD JESUS HIMSELF SAID -“You shall Know them by their Fruits” Matt 7:16) -WHEN THEY ARE ABLE TO HAVE AT LEAST TWO MIRACLES ATTRIBUTED TO THEM THROUGH THEIR INTERCESSION TO THE MOST HIGH GOD -SEE (Rev. 5:8, Chpt 8:1-4, & Chpt 12)
Be ENLIGHTENED OH MY PEOPLE AND HAVE FAITH & Daily ASK THE LORD JESUS TO INCREASE YOUR FAITH!
THE PEACE OF JESUS THE CHRIST BE WITH EVERYONE AND MAY GOD BLESS DOMINICA!!
Imagine they call themselves saints. What have they done for God? He has rewarded Mother Teresa of Calcutta for her tireless godly works in His Name. They find fault. As I always state, they will find out one day who is right and who is wrong. I know it will not be they who will be right. God is patient. We, Catholics must be patient and wait for that day at the end of time.
Those who criticize the Catholic Church have a severe mortal and spiritual problem, caused by the work of the devil. They are condemning themselves.
A man was terminally ill. He prayed to Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta. He was healed. This healing has to be confirmed by physicians for the Church to accept it.
We have many examples of those who were terminally ill who prayed to those who are Blessed and Saints and they were healed. God shows his power and might through those who served him well on earth. This is a sign of their holiness and eventual sainthood.
Was the man healed? No, all evidence suggests that it was the medicine that he was taking that cured him. Don’t continue to be an idiot my friend. The ‘Roman’ Catholic Church is a 100% Satanic organisation out to get us all.
Words of Mother Teresa of Calcutta, now Saint Teresa of Calcutta:
The Greatest Sin Is Not To Care Or Not To Make The Effort
The Church’s mission to the world imposes an obligation, not just on Bishops and Priests, but upon us all. We are the salt of the earth, the light of the world. How then are we to influence men?
Not by words and eloquence. Even Paul, who was one of the most eloquent of men, disclaims this; he did not address the Corinthians in plausible words.
It is through our good works that we shall convert men. It is through feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, helping to shelter the homeless — needs which are very much with us today in the Third World and in our land — that our light will break forth like the dawn, as Isaiah tells us.
It is not through our words but through our good works that men will see our Father Who is in Heaven.
The next person/soul to be beatified and canonized is Mother Angelica, Foundress of EWTN Global Catholic TV and Radio.
She passed on Easter Sunday at 6:00 pm. God chose that day to call her home.
Mother Angelica did much for God, for the Catholic Church and for souls. She was instrumental in bringing many souls (back) to God, fallen away Catholics, renewing their Catholic faith; others, conversion to the Catholic faith. And yes, some Muslims are among them. There is an audience of non-Catholic viewers/listeners who also call-in to the program hosts/hostesses.
It is amazing and a special spiritual feat, what these “little ones” did for God and for souls. They are great spiritual examples for all those who specifically are Christians.
God bless their holy souls, even more.
Those who are presently working for the Lord behind the scenes which the world knows nothing about know that God is aware. Those who persevere to the end, one day God will reward them.
Mother Teresa, now Saint, Mother Teresa of Calcutta is called small, a little person.
It appears to me a lot of small, short people (no pun intended) are capable of and have done great things for the Lord. They were spiritual dynamites in the Lord and for the Lord.
St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta had a conversation with Jesus. She said, “My Sweet Jesus.” He replied: “My little one.”
Mother Teresa’s canonization is well-deserved. The world knew of her and what she did for the poor, the destitute.
Mother T. sought out the poor homeless, took care of them, provided a home for them, fed them and then taught them about Our Lord Jesus Christ. All were welcomed, whatever their beliefs. None were left out. She forced none to convert against their will.
She loved God, was a lady, a Christian Catholic, a nun and a model. She criticized no one because of their non-Catholic beliefs. She will pray for the critics of the Catholic Church that God will convert them.
Did you see her do all these things? No. Then what is your point. Informed research ( Huffington Post has this to say about Teresa – http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/04/mother-teresa-myth_n_2805697.html) suggests that she was nothing more than a horrible crook who used the donations she got to fund the Vatican’s coffers.
I don’t want anyone to think of me as one who is just critical of the Roman Church,That is not my position, because I was a member,though not by choice.My mother placed me there, but thank God the last Sunday in January 1971 Cainson John (now with the Lord)Led me to the Christ of God.And on that very Sunday God made me a saint.
Now a saint is any sinner who repents of his or her sins by turning to Christ,God separates or sanctifies this person unto Himself, thus declaring him or her a Saint this person is Holy.THAT IS ALL.
No one can become a saint after he dies.I know the Roman Church say there are no living saints, the question is who are u going to believe God or the R.C.? Psalm 16:3 As for the SAINTS who are on the EARTH,Again Psalm 116:15 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His SAINTS.Again Paul wrote a letter to believers living in Corinth and called the SAINTS 1 Corinthians 1:2.I can give plenty more examples,But friends Y not turn 2 Christ and be saved.
You are so falsely indoctrinated. This is why, tepid as you were in the Catholic Church, you left it. Too bad for you. You have proven you have turned It’s enemy. God knows it.
Galatians 5:7-8 – Be Not Misled – You were running well; who hindered you from following (the) truth? That enticement does not come from the one who called you. A little yeast leavens the whole batch of dough.
Praise the Lord! it is good to know that there are human beings in this world who knows Him. Amen!
The Truth – of the Catholic Church as God has ordained will set you free.
Be careful with your evil words. As a baptized Christian Catholic which you will always be to eternity, when you die you will find out the truth. Do not wait until then for it may be too late for you.
The Holy Bible could be used to refute you enemies of the Catholic Church in many instances. For one, once baptized in the Catholic Church, always baptized God will never rescind this baptism.
This is where people as you have erred, going from church to church and being baptized over and over again. How silly.
It is not in the Bible to be baptized more than once in different churches. Whenever I meet people who tell me they went to different churches and were baptized, this is exactly what I inform them.
St. Paul said, there is “only” one baptism. This is where we faithful Catholics know how wrong people as you are. Sadly, you were once a practicing one and you did/do not know this.
Elizabeth Lisieux of Giraudel, you know that God gave us a free mind. What you may not know nor consider or ignore, it is that same free mind which will either save us or condemn us.
When you were in Dominica to when you migrated to Canada/Toronto, God and His Catholic Church served you very well and kept you healthy with peace of mind. What happened to sway you and turn you away from It? Now you portray to others that you are such a perfect Christian – oh my. You cannot be a perfect Christian for you are not a Christian Catholic or a Catholic Christian, whichever way we chose to say the latter.
Do not quote from Holy Bible for you do not live by it. One of it is not to respect the beliefs, teachings and devotions of the Catholic Church. You lack love and respect. This is also a sign that you and other critics of the Catholic Church do not love God as you hypocrites pretend to be.
You and other critics of the Catholic Church are using that free mind in the wrong manner and to criticize the Catholic Church of which you of all were baptized in and practiced in.
Once baptized in this Church, always baptized. Even though you joined some fly by night ineffective church (too many of them around) which God did not establish, it will never take you to the godly spirituality of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus except in words. God did not give them the power to baptize anyone and of all, those who left the Catholic Church, for the latter were already baptized. Think about it.
If you are smart, you and others who belong to different churches other than the Catholic Church should know that God would never establish thousands of different churches which cause divisions, disunity, lack of love and lack of peace.
You are such a fool to have left the Catholic Church and now turned its enemy as others who also foolishly left it.
You rejected the Catholic Church and took a shortcut to get to Our Lord’s Heart. He warned us (still warning us to this day) about taking short-cuts, as a thief which jumps over the gate to get into the house to steal.
You are the ones who are in dire need of repentance, God’s forgiveness, blessings and graces and to return to Him, in the fullness of the Catholic Faith. You are presently outside of the One True Church, established by Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Do not think that Saints as Mother Teresa do not spiritually enlighten from above. For one, the article is about her canonization for having faithfully served God.
God knows and sees and hears all things. He will surely hear the prayers, petitions and intercession of Saints as Mother Teresa before His Holy and Pure Throne of Grace. Thanks be to God.
You and other critics should learn from her life and use her as a model to get to the Most Sacred Heart of Our Lord Jesus Christ and subsequently to Heaven.
I meant to say, Elizabeth Zavier of Graudel.
So it seems that man now have the power to determine who go to heaven or not!!! HHmmm.
Which man you are referring to? You are so uninformed. One of the Spiritual Works of Mercy is to correct the misinformed, the uninformed, the ignorant, naive and the likes.
I hope I enlightened some of you critics and those who know nothing or very little about the Catholic Church and the Holy Father, the Pope. There is still much more to state.
The Pope got the power from God “to declare Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta a Saint.”
When he was chosen Pope at the Conclave of Cardinals, it was the work of The Holy Spirit.
Nothing the Hierarchy of the Catholic Church do is not without first praying to God and asking Him to send down His Holy Spirit among them and to inspire them.
I could go on and on. I have already stated much. I have the urge to write a book on all what I have written on DNO.
When I commenced listening to Eternal Word Television – EWTN – TV and Radio, I learned much more about my Catholic Faith. There is a lot to know.
I really feel sorry for you “Tell the Facts”
She’s was never my mother because my mother done dead and rotten much less for me to call her Saint
Are you saying your mother is in Hell?
God is the one who perform miracles to show the world of his might and power and by rewarding those who do good on earth in His Most Holy Name.
It is too bad you do not comprehend that. Pray to God for enlightenment and graces. You are also in dire need of His blessings. If you possessed them, you would not have made such a comment.
God is taking note of all we do and say as imbedded in our hearts, minds and pass through the mouth and fingers on the keyboard.
As Our Lord said: “A Tree and Its Fruit” and “What comes out of the mouth of a person defiles that person.” He is taking note.
Saint of the day…Peter used the key in Acts 2:14-39 at the birth of the church when about 3000 Jews accepted Christ as Savior.Peter used it again Acts 10 in Caesarea when more gentiles were also added to the church (the body of Christ).Peter himself said in Acts 15:7 That God chose him,that he would be the one among the apostles to preach the gospel to the gentiles.And that is what he did.THAT IS ALL.While he was alive he made no one a saint,neither could he.
You will also notice “Whatsoever” in Matthew 16:19 and Matthew 18:18 have nothing to do with people but things.and in the latter Matt.18:18 this authority was given to all the apostles.
The Lord never made Peter pope.Peter never claimed to be one,but he claimed to be an apostle 1Peter 1:1 and also a pastor,elder,overseer and bishop. different names but the same office 1 Peter 5:1.
Peter was married, he had his wife and maybe children.Mark 1:30 and and 1 Corinthians 9:5.
No one can become a saint after death.
Love Is Repaid By Love – A Society To Be Transformed
A central theme running through the script that we come to know God, to experience Him truly, loving and respecting others in seeking justice for the poor, the disinherited, the oppressed, the aged, sick and imprisoned. This love requires that we fully respect the rights of others, renounce any will to dominate and establish the truest possible justice in all our relationships. The foundation of this true respect is the love that God has for everyone without exception. God is love! In Christ the Father loves all of us so that we may love one another, a love that is the New Commandment. Indeed, if we do not love other people whom we can see, we cannot love God whom we cannot see. This kind of love leads on to a justice that seeks to promote greater equality among people.
Catholic Bishops of Canada – Taken from the Church bulletin.
J. John-Charles:
Thank you for this clear statement.
Regardless of what men say this is what the Word of God says.
I can only add what God spoke by Isaiah:
”To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” (Isaiah 8:20)
Rev. Donald Hill. Evangelist.
Bravo! Last time I checked, being a child of God automatically made me a saint, If I am wrong then the Bible is a book of lies.
It goes to show how much you understand Holy Scripture. It appears to be nothing.
She is now eternally living by sight and knows what it is to love and serve the Lord and through his created children.
You should know what Our Lord Jesus Christ said: “Only those who do the Will of His (Our) Heavenly Father will enter His Kingdom.”
There are conditions for obtaining eternal salvation. So do not go about saying that Our Lord died for you and that it automatically grants you eternal life as some are preaching and teaching falsely and leading their followers astray.
It will also not occur solely by reading the Holy Bible and preaching it. Already some have taken out certain Chapters of it because they did not like what they read. Oh my!
Therefore, examine your conscience and see whether you are living in faith.” Always pray to God for enlightenment and his graces so that you will comprehend what you read and practice it.
Saint Teresa of Calcutta inspires.
While you are at it, please tell me at least one place in the Bible which states that man can saint dead people. While I “sip” on the word which states that everyone who accepts Christ as his or her Lord and Savior becomes a saint, I await your response.
Applause broke out before he completed the formula of canonization, in which he declared “Blessed Teresa of Calcutta to be a saint.”–News article
For those who do not know this , let it be known that the Holy Bible–which speaks God\’s Word of Life–does not teach the canonization of no human being–especially after the person has gone to their grave.
A Saint is a person in the body and living a sinless or Holy Life; yes this is possible; it has to be so; otherwise the Blood of Christ Jesus serves no purpose and the world is still completely dead!
Mother Theresa may have been a good person in her Lifetime; and she deserved to be recognized as that–but while she was in her body–right now we should allow her to rest in peace until Jesus will call her out at the Day of Judgement. This Saint thing is not for man–regardless of his status– to decide; especially that she is not alive in the body
Here is what King Hezekiah prayed to God, when the Prophet Isaiah gave him the message from God, that he was going to get sick and die–that story is told at Isaiah 38; the quote below is verses 18-19
\”For Sheol cannot thank You,. Death cannot praise You;
Those who go down to the pit cannot hope for Your truth.
The living, the living man, he shall praise You, as I do this day;
The father shall make known Your truth to the children\”.
Notice the 3rd and 4th line that King Hezekiah is stressing the fact that he would only be able to glorify God\’s Love in him, only if he existed in the body–not in the grave–which he calls \”Sheol\”. \”For dust you are and to dust you shall return\” Genesis 3: 19
Once again I am saying that the soul is at sleep in its grave until the day of resurrection–God is watching the work of the Living–outside of the grave– and receiving it praise and glory: \”The living, the living man, he shall praise You, as I do this…
Several years ago I saw a documentary on Canadian television telling the history of sainthood. It was an honest objective production beholden to no “church” or government.
What many of you do not know – or I am afraid don’t want to know – is simply this.
Through the centuries who can be made a saint has changed from time to time. Did you know the criteria for sainthood has not always been the same?
Who can make a saint has also changed. Now it is only the pope in the Vatican. At one time is was more of a local affair and different geographical areas seem to have produced their own saints in honor of outstanding servants of the church.
One pope made Joan of Arc a saint. But this was after a previous pope had declared her a witch and had her burned at the stake.
The truth is according to the Bible every Christian – that is every genuine believer in Christ – is a “saint”.
Continuation:
The truth is according to the Bible every Christian – that is every genuine believer in Christ – is a saint. This includes every person who believes that Christ died as payment for his or her sins and rose again the third day, and has received Christ as his or her personal Savior according to 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, Romans 1:16, John 1:11,12, and 1 John 5:11,12.
Let me give you Biblical proof that every genuine believer in Christ is a “saint”. The Apostle Paul when he wrote to the congregation in the City of Corinth called all their members (who were true Christians) SAINTS. Get your Bible and read 1 Corinthians 1:1-3. This he repeated when he wrote his next letter to them in 2 Corinthians 1:1,2. Then again when he wrote to the church in the City of Ephesus he called all members of their congregation SAINTS. See Ephesus 1:1,2. And when he wrote to the church in the City of Philippi he also referred to all these believers as SAINTS! Read Philippians 1:1,2.
Mother Teresa was an awesome woman; a good woman, a great woman. Her life of service is an
example to all of us. But all her good works would not take her to heaven! ”For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8,9)
If Mother Teresa died trusting in the Lord Jesus ALONE for her salvation, an depending on His blood and NOTHING else to put her sins away she is in heaven at this moment and needs no pope to make her a saint. If not she died unsaved and is lost for ever.
My Roman Catholic friends please read the scriptures I have given you and ponder what they are saying to you. Their is absolutely nothing else that will help you when you face the great eternity.
Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill. Evangelist. (A teller of good news)

if grown men and women cannot she the brain washing that the church have committed, then they are not blind but dead
You have much to learn. Do not allow the devil to deceive you for one day you will regret it.

I do not seek to understand that I may believe, but I believe in order to understand. For this I believe — that unless I believe, I should not understand.
So well deserved…for mother Teresa.
I\’m not dead yet and I am a Saint. Don\’t understand how sinful man is able to make one who is such as infirm as himself a saint. That I don\’t understand – Many other things I don\’t understand with the RCC. Now it looks like they are also able assign you to Heaven as well.
You have not understood the power that Jesus Christ himself gave to St.Peter “I will give You the Keys to the Kingdom of Heaven, What You loose on Earth shall be considered loose in Heaven What You Bind on Earth shall be considered bonded in Heaven”. Be reminded also that Pope Francis is a Successor of the Apostle Peter whom Christ chose to be the leader of his Church here on Earth. This is beyond your comprehension.

You are right to give yourself that name–but only if you are living it.
Jesus did not command Peter to judge people by deciding who they are –especially after they have gone to their grave –but His command to Peter pertained to those around him in their body.
In other words Jesus spoke to Peter concerning the Living–He also told us that God is not the God of the dead; this means that whether in our grave or not–we may or may not be a Child of God; there is no amount of good works that we can do to receive Salvation–the Life of the Soul–if that is the reason the Roman Catholic Church chooses to canonize the dead .
I will give unto you a good portion of money, if you can prove to me the trash you are spewing. Show it to me from scripture. There is no such nonsense in the Holy Bible. You are merely speaking through the wisdom and traditions of men. Don\’t put Jesus in such traditions. He is way above traditions and customs.
Jesus may have given Peter the keys, but he surely didn’t give it to the RC Church. Another thing, Peter was never a pope, neither had he any successors. I haven’t seen that in the Bible yet. If it is there can you show me the scripture (s) that say so?
Saint, Mother Teresa of Calcutta’s name resounds in the Catholic world as on EWTN Global Catholic Network – TV and Radio.
There are some either through envy or the wickedness of heart (God knows), who pretend and/or ignore these facts. They distort Holy Scripture according to their mentality and to suit their lifestyle. They ignore the good works Saint Mother Teresa did for the people of India. She discriminated against none. The works of these critics could never surpass her godly works.
I viewed and listened to the Canonization Mass on EWTN Network. I was elated to have witnessed her canonization. My family and I clapped throughout it all.
Praise be to God who elevated her to sainthood. He gave her the graces to perform his godly work lovingly and patiently. She persevered to the end.
I asked St. Mother Teresa to pray for me. All Catholics especially should do likewise and also for our family. In Heaven she can do much more.
God bless you!
Saint of the Day:
These people have a problem. They project how much they hate the Catholic Church. I know that their words are the influence of Satan, the detractor and destroyer of souls.. He has caused them to divide and live in disunity.
We Catholics know that Our Lord gave the keys to Peter. He also said: “I will build MY Church;” not churches. He did not give them to those churches.
When we consider the thousands of different churches, not one is identical. We know very well that Our Lord did not establish all those different thousands of churches which were formed down through the ages. These will tell you that He did not establish them. A simple mind with common sense would comprehend it. It is beyond my comprehension that those people cannot understand it. However, as I always state, one day they will see and realize that they were misled by their so-called leaders.
Catholics are on the right track.
Saint Teresa of Calcutta knows this well.
Human beings are impressed by the size of the Roman Catholic Church with no regard whatsoever for its history. It is natural to be impressed by what the physical eye sees and the physical ear hears especially when you see and hear what pleases you.
False religious leaders take advantage of this and deceive the masses. The Bible says ”To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word it is because there is no light in them.” (Isaiah 8:20)
There was a period of time known as the dark ages when the Catholic Church would have its members burned to death at the stake if they were found to have a Bible in their homes unless it was a Bible in the Latin language. The church allowed Latin Bibles because the people could not read them.
Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill. Evangelist.
Who does God’s work will get God’s pay,
However long may seem the day,
However weary be the way.
Though powers may thunder “Nay”,
No human hand God’s hand can stay,
Who does His work will get His pay.
God hurries not, nor makes delay,
Who works for Him will get His pay,
Some certain hour, some certain day.
He does not pay as others pay,
In gold or land or raiment gay,
In goods that perish and decay.
But God’s high wisdom knows a way,
And this is pure, let come what may,
Who does God’s work will get God’s pay.

If I was a thief before and I haven’t stolen for decades, does that make still me a thief? Why do you dwell on what happened even before you were born? Do you think the church has the same power over the masses today?
By her works you should know she lived a godly, saintly life. You could not measure up to her in godly works. If you work as hard as she did in godliness, love, patience and perseverance, you just might be a saint.
Sainthood is not achieved by criticizing the good that others do for the Lord while you, yourself do nothing. It also sounds like hate.
St. Paul told us that nothing defiled will ever enter Heaven. Prior to being critical, pray to God to open your eyes, mind, heart and brains which are also reflected in your soul; to change your heart.
The problem is some of you who were practicing Catholics no longer practice the faith. You allowed others to influence you to join some other church which Our Lord did not establish and which he does not approve of. It will be revealed to you as you are dying and when you die. Mark my words.
Pope Urban VIII stated:
It is better to believe than not to believe, for if you believe and it is proven true, you will be happy that you believed!
If you believe and it should be false, you will still receive all blessings as if it has been true because you believed it to be true.
Learn something good and inspiring. You will do well to meditate on the above.
“If you believe and it should be false, you will still receive all blessings as if it had been true because you believed it to be true.” (Attributed to Pope Urban V111.)
If this is the case why preach the gospel? Let people believe what ever they wish to believe. They will still “receive all blessings” because they believe it to be true.
What Urban V111 said was the OPPOSITE of what the Bible says
The Bible says if people reject the truth God will send them a delusion that will cause them to believe something false! It says “And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: that they all might be damned…” (11 Thessalonians 2:11,12) Did you hear what the Word of God says? It says “Believe a lie (and) be damned.” It does NOT say “believe a lie and receive all blessings.”
Read on and you will see what Pope Urban V111 said was not only unreasonable. It was the exact opposite to what the Bible says.
This should be all you need to convince you that Urban V111 was NOT the Vicar of Christ and successor of Peter. The Bible says “To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word it is because there is no light in them.” (Isaiah 8:20)
Still our Catholic friends will not believe the truth as it is in the Bible. The Catholic Church tells them what to believe. They are not allowed to question that. They must believe the pope. Yet the popes have included some of the wickedest men in history. Once there were two popes at the same time. They excommunicated each other. Later popes have contradicted previous popes.
Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill. Evangelist.
