“At the Last Judgement I shall not be asked whether I was successful in my ascetic exercises, how many bows and prostrations I made [in the course of prayer]. I shall be asked, Did I feed the hungry, clothe the naked, visit the sick and the prisoners. That is all I shall be asked. About every poor, hungry and imprisoned person the Savior says ‘I’: ‘I was hungry and thirsty, I was sick and in prison’. To think that He puts an equal sign between Himself and anyone in need… I always knew it, but now it has somehow penetrated my sinews. It fills me with awe.” St. Mother Maria of Paris
