A quote from Pope Francis:

“No one loves a concept, no one loves an idea; we love persons. Self-sacrifice, true self-giving, flows from love towards men and women, the children and elderly, peoples and communities… faces, those faces and names which fill our hearts.”

-- Letter to United Nations on occasion of First World Humanitarian Summit, May 23, 2016
