CHRIST CAME FOR THE POOR, UNWANTED AND THOSE OTHERS DESPISED


YOU CAN FIND CHRIST IN THE DARKNESS OF THE ALLEY WAYS, UNDER BRIDGES WHERE THE POOR SLEEP. HE IS WITH THOSE WHO HE LOVES.


"Christ remains with us not only through the Mass but in the 'distressing disguise' of the poor. To live with the poor is a contemplative vocation, for it is to live in the constant presence of Jesus"
Dorothy Day
“The poor give us much more than we give them. They're such strong people, living day to day with no food. They never curse, never complain. We don't have to give them pity or sympathy. We have so much to learn from them.”
Mother Teresa of Calcutta
Instead of comparing our lot with that of those who are more fortunate than we are, we should compare it with the lot of the great majority of our fellow men. It then appears that we are among the privileged.
