On the 10th anniversary of Mother Teresa's canonization, we look back at her extraordinary life and legacy around the world, from her beginnings in one of India's poorest communities. Father Brian Kolodiejchuk, postulator of Mother Teresa's cause for beatification and canonization, shares insights into her mission to serve the poor, the miracles attributed to her intercession, and the lasting impact she left on the world:

St. Teresa of Calcutta and St. John Paul II shared one of the most remarkable friendships of the 20th century. Though different in temperament and mission, the two saints complemented each other in profound ways. John Paul II provided a clear theological vision of human dignity amid the darkness of abortion, atheism, and materialism. Mother Teresa lived that vision daily by serving the poorest of the poor with radical love.

Both experienced decisive moments in 1946: John Paul was ordained a priest, while Sister Teresa received her “call within a call” to leave the convent and work among the dying on the streets of Calcutta. Throughout their lives, both remained deeply devoted to the Virgin Mary and the Rosary.

Their friendship found a powerful expression in 1986, when the Pope visited Mother Teresa’s hospice, Nirmal Hriday, in the heart of Calcutta’s slums. Visibly moved by the suffering and the quiet dignity he witnessed, he called the center “a place that bears witness to the primacy of love.” Mother Teresa later described that day as the happiest of her life. At each of their meetings, the Pope would kiss the top of her head in blessing, while she kissed his papal ring with reverence.

After her death in 1997, John Paul II beatified her in 2003. In his homily he spoke of her with personal gratitude: “I am personally grateful to this courageous woman, whom I have always felt beside me. Mother Teresa, an icon of the Good Samaritan, went everywhere to serve Christ in the poorest of the poor.”

Together they remain enduring witnesses—one teaching the truth of human dignity, the other living it with a smile and open hands.
