Nothing makes you happier than when you really reach out in mercy to someone who is badly hurt.
Peace and war begin at home. If we truly want peace in the world, let us begin by loving one another in our own families. If we want to spread joy, we need for every family to have joy.
The other day I dreamed that I was at the gates of heaven. And St. Peter said, ‘Go back to Earth, there are no slums up here.’
If everyone could see the image of God in his neighbor, do you think we should still need tanks and generals?
There is no greater sickness in the world today than the lack of love.
If you are discouraged it is a sign of pride because it shows you trust in your own power. Your self-sufficiency, your selfishness and your intellectual pride will inhibit His coming to live in your heart because God cannot fill what is already full. It is as simple as that.
God does not demand that I be succesful. God demands that I be faithful. When facing God, results are not important. Faithfulness is what is important.
It is not the magnitude of our actions, but the amount of love that is put into them that matters.
To fear is to expect punishment. To love is to know we are immersed not in darkness, but in light.
Do not allow yourselves to be disheartened by any failure as long as you have done your best.
There is always the danger that we may just do the work for the sake of the work. This is where the respect and the love and the devotion come in – that we do it to God, to Christ, and that’s why we try to do it as beautifully as possible.
What we say does not matter – only what God says to souls through us.
Whatever religion we are, we must pray together.
I try to give to the poor people for love what the rich could get for money.
Yesterday is gone and tomorrow has not yet come; we must live each day as if it were our last so that when God calls us we already, and prepared, to die with a clean heart.
Doctors can heal the body, but it is music that uplifts the spirit.
May God give back to you in love all the love you have given.
Gratitude to God is to accept everything, even my problems, with joy.
Spread love everywhere you go; first of all in your house. Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next door neighbor. Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier.
Joy is strength- Joy is love – Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls. She gives most who gives with Joy.
