When Christ said: I was ...

When Christ said: I was hungry and you fed me, he didn\'t mean only the hunger for bread and for food; he also meant the hunger to be loved. Jesus himself experienced this loneliness. He came amongst his own and his own received him not, and it hurt him then and it has kept on hurting him. The same hunger, the same loneliness, the same having no one to be accepted by and to be loved and wanted by. Every human being in that case resembles Christ in his loneliness; and that is the hardest part, that\'s real hunger.

Quotes from the same author

We can do no great things, only small things with great love.
Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.
Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.
Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.
Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person.
