The Making of a Saint
What is Mother Teresa's legacy 19 years after her death? 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 Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s former South Asia correspondent and Religious Affairs correspondent.
