He came amongst his own and his own received him not, and it hurt him then and it has kept on hurting him. The same hunger, the same loneliness, the same having no one to be accepted by and to be loved and wanted by.
Mother TeresaThe poverty in the West is a different kind of povertyโit is not only a poverty of loneliness but also of spirituality. Thereโs a hunger for love, as there is a hunger for God.
Mother TeresaThe trouble is that rich people, well-to-do people, very often don't really know who the poor are; and that is why we can forgive them, for knowledge can only lead to love, and love to service. And so, if they are not touched by them, it's because they do not know them
