The care of another--even material, bodily care--is spiritual in essence. Bread for myself is a material question; bread for my neighbor is a spiritual one.

- Jacques Maritain

Have read only a little Maritain but the quote you've unearthed here is one of the best. I'll be borrowing it. Thanks

Knowing what you do and how you help others to do the same everyday
I can understand why Maritian's thoughts would speak to you as it did to me.
