2 Mother Teresa was an embodiment of compassion: President3 Mother Teresa will be declared a saint by Pope Francis today. In his message on the eve of the canonisation ceremony to be done by Pope Francis at Vatican City, Mukherjee said Mother Teresa was an embodiment of compassion. Mother Teresa saw herself as 'small pencil in the hands of the Lord' and went about her work quietly, offering smiles and warm human gestures. Always dressed in a simple white, blue border sari, Mother Teresa undertook her work with great love and commitment. "Let the example of Mother Teresa inspire all of us to dedicate ourselves to the welfare of mankind," he said.
