What miracles were performed during the beatification and canonization processes of Mother Teresa?
score:2
Accepted answer
The first miracle, required for beatification, occurred in 1998 when a cancerous tumour was removed from the abdomen of an Indian woman named Monica Bersa, after a beam of light had emanated from a picture of Mother Teresa contained in a locket. This was recognised by the Church as a miracle in 2002. However the woman's husband disputes whether her cure really was a miracle. He says, "It is much ado about nothing. My wife was cured by the doctors and not by any miracle." However, Mrs Bersa asserts that her cure was miraculous and has sought financial help from the Sisters of Charity, accused the nuns of abandoning her to a life of penury.
The second miracle accepted by the Church, leading to canonisation as a saint, was the healing in 2008 of a Brazilian man with multiple brain tumours.
