North American Poverty

“In the developed countries there is a poverty of intimacy, a
poverty of spirit, of loneliness, of lack of love. There is no greater
sickness in the world today than that one.”

“We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry,
naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and
uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own home to
remedy this kind of poverty.”

-Mother Teresa
