Interpretation
This quote emphasizes the universal need for healing and guidance from a higher power.

In practice

No one must say that they cannot be close to the poor because their own lifestyle demands more attention to other areas.

We face so many challenges in life: poverty, distress, humiliation, the struggle for justice, persecutions, the difficulty of daily conversion, the effort to remain faithful to our call to holiness, and many others. But if we open the door to Jesus and allow him to be part of our lives, if we share our joys and sorrows with him, then we will experience the peace and joy that only God, who is infinite love, can give.
