THE VATICAN has signalled that a space has been left in the Year of Mercy calendar in September for the possible canonisation of Mother Teresa. September 4 has been set aside if Mother Teresa’s Cause is concluded by then.
The canonisation Mass would be celebrated by Pope Francis in St Peter’s Square at the end of a three-day pilgrimage of people engaged in corporal works of mercy. Vatican spokesman Fr Federico Lombardi said: “September 4 is a hypothesis or plan within the calendar for the jubilee year.”
