A report on the life of Mother Teresa to launch the process of beatification is 35,000 pages and 76 volumes in size.
It will be taken from Calcutta to the Vatican and will include details of a miracle Mother Teresa was said to have performed on a woman suffering from stomach cancer in West Bengal.
"We can only hope, given Mother Teresa's fame and sanctity, that the process [in Rome] will move as fast as possible," said Calcutta Archbishop Henry Sebastian D'Souza, who supervised a panel looking into the "life, virtues and reputation of sanctity" of Mother Teresa.
The Diocesan Commission was set up in 1999 after Pope John Paul II granted special dispensation to put the Nobel Peace laureate, who died in 1997, on the fast track to sainthood. Beatification is a step toward sainthood.
After the report reaches the Vatican, it will be examined by the Roman Congregation for Causes of Saints.
A Positio- a comprehensive biography and presentation of how Mother Teresa lived the Christian life - will be prepared and then examined by nine theologians.
The theologians will submit their findings to the Assembly of Cardinals and Bishops who, after studying them, take a vote and then inform the pope of the result.
The pope takes the final decision on her beatification - but only after ascertaining that at least two-thirds of the theologians and cardinals and bishops are in favour of it.
Mother Teresa won the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1979 for her work among the sick and poor.
