I think that before people were speaking much about the poor, but now more and more people are speaking to the poor. That is the great difference.
Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.
Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being’s entitlement by virtue of his humanity.
Do not worry about why problems exist in the world – just respond to people’s needs.
Pray for me that I not loosen my grip on the hands of Jesus even under the guise of ministering to the poor.
We must remember that life begins at home and we must also remember that the future of humanity passes through the family.
We don’t need bombs and guns to destroy, to bring peace – just get together, love one another, bring that peace, that joy, that strength of presence of each other in the home. And we will be able to overcome all the evil that is in the world.
All works of love are works of peace.
The more you have, the more you are occupied, the less you give.
Today it is fashionable to talk about the poor. Unfortunately, it is not fashionable to talk with them.
I love all religions, but I am in love with my own.
I don’t claim anything of the work. It is his work. I am like a little pencil in his hand. That is all. He does the thinking. He does the writing. The pencil has nothing to do with it.
There is more hunger for love and appreciation in this world than for bread.
Love should be as natural as living and breathing.
Prayer is as necessary as the air, as the blood in our bodies, as anything to keep us alive-to keep us alive to the grace of God.
The world today is hungry Not only for bread But hungry for love; Hungry to be wanted, Hungry to be loved...
There is only one God and He is God to all; therefore it is important that everyone is seen as equal before God. I’ve always said we should help a Hindu become a better Hindu, a Muslim become a better Muslim, a Catholic become a better Catholic.
Prayer feeds the soul – as blood is to the body, prayer is to the soul – and it brings you closer to God.
I have come to realize more and more that the greatest disease and the greatest suffering is to be unwanted, unloved, uncared for, to be shunned by everybody, to be just nobody.
Souls of prayer are souls of great silence.
