“God died for you and for me and for that leper and for that person dying of hunger and for that person on the street … It’s not enough to say you love God. You also have to say you love your neighbor. Love, to be true, has to hurt. This requires people giving until it hurts. Otherwise it is not true love … Be the good news to your home people first. Find out about your next door neighbor.”
Mother Teresa (1910-1997) in “Mother Teresa of Calcutta” in Charlotte Observer. June 14, 1995.
