I wish everybody could be at the Vatican on Sept. 4 for the remarkable occasion of Mother Teresa's Sainthood. There they would meet some of the most caring people from across the world. I am fortunate to have met many of them.
I first talked to Mother Teresa herself at Harvard University's graduation before I became Boston's mayor. Later, I helped her build housing for poor mothers and their infant babies in Boston and around the U.S. I was blessed to have met her several times in Rome, in soup kitchens and clinics in Africa, and India when I was Ambassador to the Holy See.
PARIS (AP) — Two attackers invaded a church Tuesday during morning Mass near the Normandy city of Rouen, killing an 84-year-old priest by slitting his throat and taking hostages before being shot and killed by police, French officials said.
Another person inside the church was seriously injured and is hovering between life and death, Interior Ministry spokesman Pierre-Henry Brandet said.
