梵蒂冈说,罗马天主教教宗方济各确认已故修女特蕾莎生前施展的第二次神迹,为册封她为圣人扫清了道路。

梵蒂冈官员星期五表示,教宗批准了一项法令,把第二个神迹归功于特蕾莎修女的代祷。

法令中提到的神迹说,2008年,一位患脑瘤的巴西男子神奇地得到治愈。据说,这名男子是在他妻子祷告请求特蕾莎修女代祷之后得到治愈的。

据意大利媒体报道,正式的封圣仪式预计将在2016年9月举行,它将成为教宗方济各所称的“慈悲禧年”的一大亮点。

特蕾莎修女因为毕生服务于穷人,在全球建立无家可归者收容所、孤儿院、爱心厨房和诊所而闻名。   

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.
