Excerpt:

“To save these young children living on the city streets, you have to have strength and too much love to give each child all the love he has been missing since birth. You almost need to put them back into there womb to be born again, to help grow that dignity inside them.” –Sister Maria Rosa Leggol

“Christ said, ‘Pick up your cross and follow Me.’ He did not say to drag it and complain!” –Sister Maria Rosa
