Dearest Lord, may I see you today and every day in the person of your sick, and, whilst nursing them, minister unto you.

Hungry not only for bread - but hungry for love. Naked not only for clothing - but naked of human dignity and respect. Homeless not only for want of a home of bricks - but homeless because of rejection.
Mother Teresa
