Do we know our poor people? Do we know the poor in our house, in our family? Perhaps they are not hungry for a piece of bread. Perhaps our children, husband, wife, are not hungry, or naked, or dispossessed, but are you sure there is no one there who feels unwanted, deprived of affection? ↗

Why didn't they wish for eternal happiness instead? What else would anyone wish for?" "They did wish for that," answered Jamie. ↗
