Duty is a very personal thing. It is what comes from knowing the need to take action and not just a need to urge others to do something.
Mother TeresaDo we know our poor people? Do we know the poor in our house, in our family? Perhaps they are not hungry for a piece of bread. Perhaps our children, husband, wife, are not hungry, or naked, or dispossessed, but are you sure there is no one there who feels unwanted, deprived of affection?
Mother Teresa
