Paulines Serving the Poorest of the Poor

• The Constitutions of the Missionaries of Charity define the poorest of the poor. Paulines can also use this definition for the Spiritual Works of Mercy - Mother Teresa told some of our sisters this:
  
  
• feeding the hungry: not only with food but also with the Word of God;
  
• 
  giving drink to the thirsty: not only for water, but for knowledge, peace, truth, justice, and love;


• 
  clothing the naked: not only with clothes, but also with human dignity;


• 
  giving shelter to the homeless: not only a shelter made of bricks but a heart that understands, that covers, that loves;


• 
  nursing the sick and dying: not only the body, but also the mind and spirit
