A Special Birthday!

This day, August 26, 2010, would have been Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta's 100th Birthday. I am sure there are Masses and different remembrances being said and observed in her honor. Of course, she is just one step away from being canonized a saint in the church. The Venerable Pope John Paul II waived the five year waiting period for her cause so the process started right away. One miracle has already been attributed to her, that is why she has been beatified and given the title "Blessed." What we await now is another confirmed miracle and the official decree of our Holy Father so she can be raised to the altar of sainthood. What a beautiful day that will be, especially for the Missionary of Charity Sisters who continue her work and mission around the world. Many consider Blessed Mother Teresa a saint already because of what she did during her time on earth. How she reached out to anyone as a brother and sister and how she saw the face of Christ in each person. What a great example for us. Pray that we may be able to see the face of Christ in others and reach out in service to our brothers and sisters in need. May Blessed Mother Teresa continue to pray for us. God bless you on this special day!!!
