Seeing Jesus in the Least of These

I'm reading a book right now by Brad Jersak-fellow killarneyite (??) called Kissing the Leper-Seeing Jesus in the Least of These. It's a recommended read...

Some quotes from Mother Teresa from his book...

At the end of our lives, we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made or how many great things we have done. We will be judged by 'I was hungry and you gave me to eat. I was naked and you clothed me. I was homeless and you took me in.' 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 room of bricks-but homeless because of rejection. This is Christ in distressing disguise.

It is not enough for us to say: 'I love God, but do not love my neighbor.' Saint John says that you are a liar if you say you love God and you don't love your neighbor. How can you love God whom you do not see, if you do not love your neighbor whom you see, whom you touch, with whom you live? And so this is very important for us to realize that love, to be true, has to hurt.

"May God break my heart so completely that the whole world falls in."

Jesus is the Hungry-to be fed
Jesus is the Thirsty-to be satiated
Jesus is the Naked-to be clothed
Jesus is the Homeless-to be taken in
Jesus is the Lonely-to be loved
Jesus is the Unwanted-to to wanted
Jesus is the Leper-to wash his wounds
Jesus is the Beggar-to give him a smile
Jesus is the Drunkard-to listen to him
Jesus is the Mental-to protect him
Jesus is the Little One-to embrace him
Jesus is the Blind-to lead him
Jesus is the Dumb-to speak for him
Jesus is the Crippled-to walk with him
Jesus is the Drug Addict-to befriend him
Jesus is the Prostitute-to remove from danger and befriend her
Jesus is the Prisoner-to be visited
Jesus is the Old-to be served
