Almost 100,000 Catholics gather to see Pope Francis make Mother Teresa Saint (photos)

Mother Teresa, the tiny nun who cared for the world's most unwanted and became an icon of the Catholic Church, was canonised at a ceremony in St Peter's Square. The nun is claimed to have miraculously cured a woman with a tumour and a man with a brain infection. This paved the way for her sainthood.

Pope Francis, who yesterday decried the modern 'sin of indifference' to suffering, presided over the morning Mass. See more photos below.
