Thérèse and Teresa

"Charity gave me the key to my vocation. I understood that love comprises all vocations, that love is everything, that it embraces all times and all places because it is eternal!"
~Saint Thérèse of Lisieux

"When a poor person dies of hunger, it has not happened because God did not take care of him or her. It has happened because neither you nor I wanted to give that person what he or she needed. We have refused to be instruments of love in the hands of God to give the poor a piece of bread, to offer them a dress with which to ward off the cold. It has happened because we did not recognize Christ when, once more, he appeared under the guise of pain, identified with a man numb from the cold, dying of hunger, when he came in a lonely human being, in a lost child in search of a home."
~Mother Teresa
