Why embrace a leper?

A man who saw [Mother Teresa] embrace a leper told her he wouldn’t do that for all the money in the world. She replied that she wouldn’t either; she was doing it for the love of Christ. This is the same motive that seems to have propelled humanity’s greatest acts of heroism and sacrifice.

from Dinesh D’Souza in What’s So Great About Christianity (Washington: Regnery Publishing, Inc. 2007) page 303.
