This is a fascinating story of a modern apostleship of practical love, led by one of the most impressive mendicant preachers of the twentieth century.
Werenfried van Straaten (1913-2003) was a Dutch Catholic priest, preacher and fundraiser. During his life as a Norbertine expatriate in Germany, he became known for his dedication towards suffering Christians, particularly as founder of the international Catholic charity Aid to the Church in Need. He unashamedly called himself a "beggar for God".
