July 7

Maybe there is a rich person who has not one to visit him; he has plenty of other things, he is nearly drowned in them, but there s not that touch and needs your touch. I was walking down the street and a man walked up to me and said: "Are you Mother Teresa?" And I said: Yes. "Please send one of your Sisters to our house. I'm half blind and my wife is nearly mental and we are simply longing to hear a human voice." When I sent the Sisters there they found it was true. They had everything but no one to call their own. Their sons and daughters were very far from them. They were unwanted now, unusable, so to say, unprofitable and so they were dying of sheer loneliness.
