The Blind man said to Jesus:
“Master, let me see again”.
“The poor, are not there just to receive our charity:
They are sources of life and truth, peacemakers.
This, then, is the great secret of Jesus, hidden in the Gospels.

Many people see them as a sign of death, source of despair;
A problem, a burden, people to be pushed aside, perhaps, eliminated,
Forced to change their ways.

Jesus shows us that the poor can transform our hearts, fill us with light and compassion, if we are willing to accept to meet them and live in communion with them”.
Jean Vanier.
