"In this vocation we are closely conformed to Our Lord Jesus
Christ, who, it would seem, made it his principal task to assist and
care for the poor: 'He sent me to preach good news to the poor.' And
if somebody asked Our Lord 'Why did you come on earth?' (he would
answer): 'To assist the poor.' 'For any other reason?' 'To assist the
poor' . . . And so, are we not then most happy to be part of the mission for the very same reason that moved God to become man?"
(SV XI, 108)
