God will never, never, never let us down if we have faith and put our trust in Him. He will always look after us. So we must cleave to Jesus. Our whole life must simply be woven into Jesus.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway. For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.
Peace begins with a smile. I will never understand all the good that a simple smile can accomplish.
Let us make one point, that we meet each other with a smile, when it is difficult to smile. Smile at each other, make time for each other in your family.
The problem with the world is that we draw the circle of our family too small.
Speak tenderly; let there be kindness in your face, in your eyes, in your smile, in the warmth of your greeting. Always have a cheerful smile. Don’t only give your care, but give your heart as well.
We must make our homes centers of compassion and forgive endlessly.
Seeking the face of God in everything, everyone, all the time, and his hand in every happening; This is what it means to be contemplative in the heart of the world. Seeing and adoring the presence of Jesus, especially in the lowly appearance of bread, and in the distressing disguise of the poor.
Love is repaid by love alone!
People are hungry for God. Do you see that? Quite often we look but do not see. We are all passing through this world. We need to open our eyes and see.
We have only today. Let us begin.
God has created us to love and to be loved, and this is the beginning of prayer-to know that He loves me, that I have been created for greater things.
The poor are great! The poor are wonderful! The poor are very generous! They give us much more than what we give them.
One of the greatest diseases is to be nobody to anybody.
Let us not use bombs and guns to overcome the world. Let us use love and compassion. Peace begins with a smile.
A clean heart can see God, can speak to God, and can see the love of God in others.
Do we know our poor people? Do we know the poor in our house, in our family? Perhaps they are not hungry for a piece of bread. Perhaps our children, husband, wife, are not hungry, or naked, or dispossessed, but are you sure there is no one there who feels unwanted, deprived of affection?
Even the rich are hungry for love, for being cared for, for being wanted, for having someone to call their own.
There is a light in this world, a healing spirit more powerful than any darkness we may encounter.
It is Christmas every time you let God love others through you.
