REAL POVERTY

We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless.  The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty.  We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty.

Quote by Mother Teresa from the book:  DO SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL FOR GOD The Essential Teaching of Mothers Teresa

REFLECTION:

  • Do you feel unwanted, unloved or uncared for?
  • Is there another person you are in relationship with (spouse, child, friend, sibling, parent, etc.)that feels unwanted, unloved or uncared for?
  • What can you do today to remedy this kind of poverty?
  • Do one thing with great kindness today!
