DANOGRAM, India - An Indian woman whose claimed miracle cure from cancer led to Mother Teresa being thrust toward sainthood has accused Catholic nuns of abandoning her to a life of misery. snip

It was Besra’s alleged miracle cure from a “lumpy” tumour on September 6, 1998 -- a year after the nun’s death — that led to the Vatican clearing the way for Mother Teresa’s beatification in October 2003.

Usually, the journey from death to beatification to sainthood takes decades if not centuries in the Catholic Church, which has 1.1 billion followers worldwide.

“My hut was frequented by nuns of the Missionaries of Charity before the beatification of Mother Teresa,” Besra said.

“They made of lot of promises to me and assured me of financial help for my livelihood and my children’s education,” she claimed, adding that she was also escorted to the Vatican for the beatification ceremony.

“After that, they forgot me,” said Besra, tears welling up in her eyes.

You might have gone into remission or something like that, but there wasn't a miracle.
