“Sometimes people can hunger for more than bread.

We need to tell the poor that they are somebody to us that they, too, have been created, by the same loving hand of God, to love and be loved.”

We will be judged by "I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat, I was naked and you clothed me. I was homeless, and you took me in.”
