Mother Teresa, as of April 2013, has been beatified but is not yet a canonized saint.
According to Catholic tradition, two verifiable miracles are needed in order to be eligible for sainthood. For the first miracle, required for beatification, the Vatican has recognised the healing of a tumour in the abdomen of an Indian woman, Monica Besra, after the application of a locket containing Mother Teresa's picture. Besra said that a beam of light emanated from the picture, curing the cancerous tumour.
Dr. Ranjan Mustafi, who had been treating Besra, said that the cyst was not cancer at all but a cyst caused by tuberculosis. He said, "It was not a miracle.... She took medicines for nine months to one year." According to Besra's husband, "My wife was cured by the doctors and not by any miracle." A second miracle will lead to Mother Teresa's canonisation as a saint, although the first miracle is open to doubt at this stage.
