So many signatures for such a small heart.
If you think well of others, you will also speak well of others and to others. From the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. If your heart is full of love, you will speak of love.
Seek not to change the world, but choose to change your mind about the world. What you see reflects your thinking. And your thinking but reflects your choice of what you want to see. If you judge people, you have no time to love them.
Many people mistake our work for our vocation. Our vocation is the love of Jesus.
People are generally irrational, unreasonable and selfish. They deserve to be loved, anyway.
Perfect prayer does not consist in many words, but in the fervor of the desire which raises the heart to Jesus.
I think the world today is upside down, and is suffering so much, because there is so very little love in the homes and in family life.
To be pure, to remain pure, can only come at a price, the price of knowing God and loving him enough to do his will. He will always give us the strength we need to keep purity as something as beautiful for him.
Like Jesus, we belong to the world, living not for ourselves but for others. The joy of the Lord is our strength.
There are no great acts, only small acts done with great love.
Do you want to do something beautiful for God? There is a person who needs you. This is your chance.
People ask me what advice I have for a married couple struggling in their relationship. I always answer: pray and forgive. And to young people from violent homes, I say: pray and forgive. And again, even to the single mother with no family support: pray and forgive.
Today, if we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other-that man, that woman, that child is my brother or my sister. If everyone could see the image of God in his neighbor, do you think we would still need tanks and generals?
Be humble like Mary so that you can be holy like Jesus.
The dying, the cripple, the mental, the unwanted, the unloved – they are Jesus in disguise.
I am Albanian by birth. Now I am a citizen of India. I am also a Catholic nun. In my work, I belong to the whole world. But in my heart, I belong to Christ.
By abortion, the mother does not learn to love, but kills even her own child to solve her problems.
I will never tire of repeating this: what the poor need the most is not pity but love. They need to feel respect for their human dignity, which is neither less nor different from the dignity of any other human being.
What we need is love without getting tired.
I always begin my prayer in silence, for it is in the silence of the heart that God speaks. God is the friend of silence-we need to listen to God because it’s not what we say but what He says to us and through us that matters.
