El que ama se preocupa por el que falta, siente nostalgia por el que está ausente, busca al que se ha perdido, espera al que se ha alejado. Porque quiere que nadie se pierda. #EvangelioDeHoy (Lc 15,4-32)

A #MadreTeresa le gustaba decir: «Tal vez no hablo su idioma, pero puedo sonreír». Llevemos en el corazón su sonrisa y donémosla a cuantos encontremos en nuestro camino, especialmente a los que sufren. Abriremos así horizontes de alegría y esperanza.
