"Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin."
Mother Teresa

On August 26, 2010, millions of faithful around the world will stop and reflect on the life of the "little mother of the poor" on the 100th anniversary of her birth.  Mother Teresa who cared for the sick and the elderly, the old and the young, the homeless and the hungry was a dear friend to Aid to the Church in Need and to its founder, Father Werenfried van Straaten. 

In 1959, Father Werenfried witnessed firsthand the incredible work of Mother Teresa, “Mother Teresa and her Sisters care for the abandoned children whom they pick out of the dustbins in the mornings, and also for the dying, whom they collect from the streets. Probably for the first time in their lives, these dying people knew what selfless love is."  Father Werenfried and Mother Teresa continued their work for the poor, travelling together from town to town, gathering donations for the poor, in the decades that followed.

ACN asks that you join us today in commemorating the life of this wonderful woman by saying a prayer, lighting a candle or making a donation.  Together, we will be sure that Mother Teresa's mission of caring for the lost and forgotten of the world continues.
