The Making of a Saint

Available for over a year

The Pope described Mother Teresa as a "gift from God to the poorest of the poor". To millions she is already a saint and an iconic saviour of the wretched of the Earth. To others, her approach to the most immediate medical and welfare needs of the poor was much more questionable. What is her legacy - not only in India but around the world? And, how is her once-so-famous charitable religious order doing today? Mike Wooldridge looks back at her life and death, which he covered first hand as the BBC’s former South Asia correspondent and Religious Affairs correspondent. (Photo: Nirmal Hriday women's ward.
