Sainthood for Mother Marie Eugenie not Mother Teresa

For those of you who have received the following SMS:

“Mother Teresa is going to be declared a saint within three hours, in Rome. Your three petitions will be granted in her name, if you pray now. Send this to at least five people."

You may stop forwarding the message now and delete it from your cellphone. Blessed Mother Teresa is not going to be declared a saint anytime soon rather it's Mother MARIE EUGENIE [CLICK HERE FOR THE NEWS] who is going to be canonized. How do I know the message's a hoax? Besides the fact that I looked up Google News for the supposed canonization of Mother Teresa, there are several giveaways in the SMS itself:

1. If it's genuine you don't have to mention to "Send this to at least five people"; real news spreads fast and will do so on its on initiative
   
2. CNN and BBC would have made her canonization the headlines way earlier before anyone could say "Hallelujah!"

Chain messages such as these are one of my pet peeves; I guess I am just annoyed that it promotes superstition among the Catholic faithful... Anyway a point to note: our petitions are granted only through Jesus Christ (John 14:14) and no one else... because ultimately it is God who has the power to grant our requests. But of course, the saints may intercede also :)

That's all for today's public service announcement. Have a good day!
