(Vatican Radio) Listen to Pope Francis pronounce the official Formula of Canonization, raising Mother Teresa of Calcutta to the honours of the altar

The English translation of Pope Francis’s pronouncement of the official Formula of Canonization, raising Mother Teresa of Calcutta to the honours of the altar.

To the honour of the holy and undivided Trinity,
for the exaltation of the Catholic faith
and the increase of the Christian life,
by the authority of Our Lord Jesus Christ,
of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul, and of Ourselves,
after mature deliberation
and frequent prayer for the Divine assistance,
with the advice of Our venerable brethren,
We decree and define
Blessed Teresa of Calcutta to be a saint,
and We place her name in the catalogue of Saints,
decreeing that in the universal Church
she is to be venerated among the Saints with pious devotion.
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
