Diptych displays a glowing image of Christ's servant and spouse, who gave her life to love Jesus in the poorest of the poor, and includes a prayer in thanksgiving for her Sainthood.

Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta entered a contemplative religious order as a young woman in 1928. After being fully professed, she received a "call within a call" to serve those on the streets of India, still remaining consecrated to God. As many young women followed her to serve the poor, the group eventually was approved by the Vatican to become the Missionaries of Charity. Mother Teresa traveled the world, spreading her mission of love. Despite receiving great honors from the world, her joy and mission still flowed from her Bridegroom, Jesus Christ.

This simple arched diptych is perfect for desk, shelf and mantle decoration. This durable 6"x8" diptych is manufactured by local workers in Steubenville, Ohio.

O Living God
who uses the weak to lead the strong,
who casts down the mighty and lifts up the lowly,
the Church rejoices at the canonization of
Holy Mother Teresa of Calcutta.

By her humble service to the Poorest of the Poor,
and staunch defense of unborn human life,
she became a bastion for the culture of life.

We ask, O Lord, that her heavenly intercession
and earthly example continue
to bless the world, now and forever.

Amen."
