What defines us?

Busy day losing stuff, finding stuff, organising stuff & forgetting stuff. Today is also the day we remember Alberto Hurtado, Chilean priest & social reformer, who said:

"I hold that every poor man, every vagrant, every beggar is Christ carrying his cross. And as Christ, we must love and help him. We must treat him as a brother, a human being like ourselves. If we were to start a campaign of love for the poor and homeless, we would, in a short time, do away with depressing scenes of begging, children sleeping in doorways and women with babies in their arms fainting in our streets."
St. Alberto Hurtado

Quite challenging in light of our current climate. There's a bit more about him here http://bit.ly/1Jeomh7
