25. MOTHER THERESA OF CALCUTA
AT TODAY THE POOR ARE HUNGRY
FOR BREAD AND RICE LOVE FOR THE
LIVING WORD OF GOD, THE POOR
ARE THIRSTY – FOR WATER AND FOR
PEACE; TRUTH AND JUSTICE; THE
POOR ARE NAKED FOR CLOTHES,
FOR HUMAN DIGNITY AND
COMPASSION FOR THE NAKED
SINNER.

26. AT THE POOR ARE HOMELESS – FOR SHELTER
MADE OF BRICKS AND FOR A JOYFUL HEART THAT
UNDERSTANDS, COVERS, LOVES. THEY ARE SICK –
FOR MEDICAL CARE – AND FOR THAT GENTLE
TOUCH AND WARM SMILE.
AT THE SHUT IN, THE UNWANTED, THE UNLOVED,
THE ALCOHOLICS, THE DYING DESTITUTES, THE
ABANDONED AND THE LONELY, THE OUTCASTS
AND THE UNTOUCHABLES, THE LEPROSY
SUFFERERS, ALL THOSE WHO ARE BURDEN TO THE
HUMAN SOCIETY, WHO HAVE LOST ALL HOPE AND
FAITH IN LIFE – WHO HAVE FORGOTTEN HOW TO
SMILE -- WHO HAVE LOST THE SENSIBILITY OF THE
WARM HAND TOUCH OF LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP.

27. AT THEY TO US FOR COMFORT
– IF WE TURN OUR BACK ON
THEM, WE TURN IT ON CHRIST,
AT THE HOUR OF OUR DEATH
WE WILL BE JUDGED IF WE
HAVE RECOGNIZED CHRIST IN
THEM, AND WHAT WE HAVE
DONE FOR AND TO THEM.

except the sign of the prophet Jonah.

him.
