Pope John Paul II with Mother Teresa

Pope John Paul II greets Mother Teresa of Calcutta at the Vatican in June 1997. The nun, who devoted her life to the care of Calcutta’s poor in India and founded the Missionaries of Charity, was beatified by the John Paul II Oct. 19, 2003. The process leading up to her beatification was the shortest in modern history. (CNS file photo by Arturo Mari) (Feb. 25, 2005)
