PART 17: Antichrists revealed – Delibrate rebellion of the antichrist towards Christ

“I took doctors’ medicines, threw up and was in a lot of pain. But when I prayed to Mother Teresa from my heart, Mother Teresa blessed me and now I am healthy,” Besra told CNN last week.

“My entire village and I am very happy that she is being made a saint.”

Pope Francis formally announced that Mother Teresa would be declared a saint in March 2016, when he recognised a second miracle attributed to her.

A Brazilian man with multiple brain tumours was healed after loved ones prayed to Mother Teresa to heal him, according to Avenger, a newspaper affiliated to the Catholic Church.

Mother Teresa to be canonized Sunday

Huge crowds expected in Rome and Kolkata

(CNN) Hundreds of thousands of pilgrims are expected to gather in Rome to witness the canonization of Mother Teresa, the nun who dedicated her life to helping the poor in India.

The canonization mass, held by Pope Francis, will take place Sunday morning in St. Peter’s Square in Vatican City. A number of bishops from both Albania, where Mother Teresa was born in 1910, and India are due to attend, as well as state leaders.

The crowd is anticipated to surpass the 300,000 that attended Pope John Paul II’s beatification of Mother Teresa in Rome in 2003.

“Brothers and sisters, even in our days God inspires new models of sainthood,” John Paul told the crowd at the time.
