MANILA, Aug. 24 (PNA) -- The public is invited to venerate the “ex capillis” (from the hair) and second class relic “ex indumentis” (from the clothing) of Blessed Mother Teresa of Kolkata (Calcutta) at the Radio Veritas chapel in Quezon City starting this week.
In a statement, the Church-run radio station said the public veneration will be open from August 26 until September 4, 2016, the day of her canonization.
Devotees may pray before the relics from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm at the Our Lady of Veritas Chapel.
An advocate for the poor and soon to be saint, Blessed Mother Teresa of Kolkata was born in Skopje, then part of the Kosovo Vilayet in the Ottoman Empire (Macedonia).
After having lived in Macedonia for 18 years, she moved to Ireland and then to India, where she lived for the most of her life.
Mother Teresa founded the Missionaries of Charity, a Roman Catholic religious congregation, which in 2012, consisted of over 4,500 sisters and was active in 133 countries.
The group run hospices and homes for people with HIV/AIDS, leprosy and tuberculosis; soup kitchens; dispensaries and mobile clinics; children's and family counselling programs; orphanages; and schools.
Mother Teresa was a recipient of numerous donors, including the 1979 Nobel Peace Prize for building homes for orphans and a hospice for the terminally ill in India. On October 9, 2003 she was beatified as "Blessed Teresa of Calcutta."
A second miracle was credited to her intercession by Pope Francis, in December 2015, paving the way for her to be recognized as a saint by the Roman Catholic Church. Blessed Mother Teresa will be canonized as Saint on September 4, 2016.
Radio Veritas 846, a faith-based am radio in the Philippines, is owned and operated by the Archdiocese of Manila.
Established in 1969, the Ramon Magsaysay recipient Catholic radio station continues to be the leading social communications ministry for truth and evangelization in the country today.
