Quote by Mother Theresa
Without out suffering, our work would just be social work, very good and helpful, but it would not be the work of Jesus Christ, not part of the Redemption. All the desolation of the poor people, not only their material poverty, but their spiritual destitution, must be redeemed. And we must share it, for only by being one with them can we redeem them by bringing God into their lives and bringing them to God.
Summary
This quote emphasizes the importance of recognizing and addressing both the material and spiritual needs of the less fortunate. It suggests that simply providing social aid is not enough; true work in line with Jesus Christ's teachings involves understanding and empathizing with those who are suffering. By connecting with them, sharing their despair, and bringing God into their lives, it is believed that one can play a role in the redemption of the impoverished, helping them find spiritual fulfillment and bring them closer to God.
