Remember to consider only Christ in the person of the poor. Serve them always as you would serve Christ himself that is to say with humility, respect, compassion and charity.
Our compassion for them has made us deprive ourselves even of the necessities of life
so as to meet their needs. Now, all we can do is weep with the poor. Serve Christ in the person of the poor.
–Saint Joan Antide-Thouret (1765-1826)
