Mother Teresa – Her Own Heart-filled Words
Mother Teresa says, “If you really want to know the poor, you must know what is poverty…”
She says,”There are two kinds of poverty. We have the poverty of the material, for example like in India and Ethiopia and other places, where the people are hungry for a loaf of bread and real hunger. But there is a much deeper, much greater hunger. And that is the hunger for love and that terrible loneliness and being unwanted, unloved… being abandoned by everybody. And some people you find in, what you call them, shut-ins, people that are sleeping in the streets of London and are found in the homes. Maybe that kind of “unwanted-ness,” unloved {person}. Maybe in our own homes, we may have somebody who is handicapped like that and nobody takes any notice. Nobody even recognizes that there is this child, this man, this woman who is hungry for love, hungry to be recognized and to accept with respect and love the person.” In the video below, she speaks from her heart.
