教宗批准冊封特蕾莎修女爲聖人

The Vatican says Pope Francis, head of the Roman Catholic Church, has recognized a second miracle attributed to the late Mother Teresa, clearing the way for her elevation to sainthood.

Vatican officials said Friday that the Pope has approved a decree that attributed a miracle to Mother Teresa's intercession.

The miracle named in the decree is the inexplicable cure in 2008 of a Brazilian man suffering from brain tumors. The man is said to have been cured after his wife prayed for Mother Teresa's intercession.

Italian media report the formal canonization ceremony is expected to take place in September 2016, making it one of the highlights of Pope Francis' so-called "Holy Year of Mercy."

Mother Teresa was famed for her lifetime of service to the poor, establishing homeless shelters, orphanages, soup kitchens and clinics around the world.梵蒂岡說，羅馬天主教教宗方濟各確認已故修女特蕾莎生前施展的第二次神蹟，爲冊封她爲聖人掃清了道路。
梵蒂岡官員星期五表示，教宗批准了一項法令，把第二個神蹟歸功於特蕾莎修女的代禱。

法令中提到的神蹟說，2008年，一位患腦瘤的巴西男子神奇地得到治癒。據說，這名男子是在他妻子禱告請求特蕾莎修女代禱之後得到治癒的。

據意大利媒體報道，正式的封聖儀式預計將在2016年9月舉行，它將成爲教宗方濟各所稱的“慈悲禧年”的一大亮點。

特蕾莎修女因爲畢生服務於窮人，在全球建立無家可歸者收容所、孤兒院、愛心廚房和診所而聞名。
