"Rita took to the stage at the Papal Basilica of St Paul in the Vatican City to perform 'What Child Is This?', proving once and for all that you can not keep a good thing down," adds the UK edition of .

"She was accompanied on stage by the Kosovo Philharmonic Orchestra, at the event, which took place just before Pope Francis officially declared Mother Teresa a saint."

The exploits of Ora, a British media celebrity and singer, are a regular feature on the weekly podcast by podcasters Bobby Finger & Lindsey Weber because of her media exposure the past few years. Ora hopes to make her name in the U.S. this year as the host of America's Next Top Model replacing Tyra Banks.

Ora, who hasn't released an album since 2012, may have been chosen for her vocal prowess; in likelihood it was due to her being a native of Mother Teresa's homeland.

"The pop star was born in Kosovo to Albanian parents and came to the UK as a refugee, while Mother Teresa was born to a Kosovar-Albanian family in Skopjue, later becoming an Indian citizen," .

"Speaking on stage, Ora said: 'Tonight on the eve of the canonisation of Mother Teresa, we, the daughters and sons by blood and soul, are here to honour and express our gratitude to her outstanding life and work dedicated to the poorest people of the world.

" A humble woman managed to united all mankind without any discrimination, based only on the power of faith and love.'"

When she spoke of her upcoming gig on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon last week, Ora asked: "I looked at the guest list and I see the Pope! I thought, what do you wear to see the Pope?"

:"After her performance Ora shared a picture of herself on stage in a black lace gown and headdress on Instagram and wrote: "I am honored to have been invited, to fulfill the role as an ambassador to Kosovo, to sing at the canonization of Mother Teresa. Singing 'What Child Is This?' to celebrate her life and legacy will be a moment I cherish forever."
