Wisdom from Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI

The great socially committed saints, therefore, were always great eucharistic saints as well…In our time, the image of Mother Teresa of Calcutta is right before our eyes. Wherever she opened houses of her sisters in order to serve the dying and outcast, the first thing she asked for was a place for the tabernacle, because she knew that the strength for such service could only come from there.

—Joseph Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI)

from his book On the Way to Jesus Christ
