As I leave to return to God, my Father, permit me to confide to you one last desire: that you strive to create a climate of true love and respect for the poor because the poor man is Christ. “What you do to the least of my brothers, that you do to me” (Mt 25,40).
--Saint Alberto Hurtado Cruchaga
Letter dictated while a patient at the Clinic of the Catholic University, four days before his death in August of 1952
