INDIA-VATICAN-TERESA-BEATIFICATION

(FILES) In this file picture taken, 15 August 1982, Mother Teresa hugs a child in West Beirut. Mother Teresa will be beatified, 19 October 2003, in a ceremony in St Peter's Square, Vatican. The beatification ceremony is the penultimate step to being canonised a saint and has been the shortest in modern history. Following the beatification, a second miracle has to be verified by the Vatican before Mother Teresa can be proclaimed a saint. AFP PHOTO
