Pope Francis Canonizes Mother Teresa
Thomas D. Williams, Ph.D.
“I am not sure exactly what heaven will be like,” Teresa once said, “but I don’t know that when we die and it comes time for God to judge us, he will not ask, How many good things have you done in your life? rather he will ask, How much love did you put into what you did?” Considered by many a saint already in her lifetime, Mother Teresa was beatified by Pope John Paul II on October 19, 2003, just five years after her death.
