Spiritual Poverty
John 6:25-59

by Mother Teresa

Mother Teresa wrote: "The spiritual poverty of the Western world is much greater than the physical poverty of the Third World. You in the West have millions of people who suffer such terrible loneliness and emptiness. They feel unwanted and unloved. These people are not hungry in a physical sense but they are in another way. They know they need something more than money, yet they don't know what it is. What they are missing really is a living relationship with God."
