" The greatest problem in this world is hunger. Not hunger of the stomach but hunger of the heart. All over the world bothe the rich and the poor are suffering. They are lonely, starving for love. Only God's love can satisfy the hunger of the heart. There is no other solution. Feeding the stomachs of the poor is not so difficult, feeding the starving hearts of humanity with God's love - that is the great challenge. You see our hearts must be pure to give that love.
Poverty is not only lack of a piece of clothing, but a lack of human dignity and the beautiful virtue of purity. Poverty is a lack of respect for one another.
When the impoverished of Calcutta die in my arms, I see the light of hope in their eyes. I do not see this light in the eyes of many of the wealthy, powerfull people of the West.
Real wealth is in the hearts of those with faith in the love of God. This world is in desperate need of those who will give the poor hearted this hope."
