Give the world the best you have and you may get hurt. Give the world your best anyway.
You have to do that here in your country. You must come to know the poor. Maybe our people here have material things, everything, but I think that if we all look into our own homes, how difficult we find it sometimes to smile at each other, and that the smile is the beginning of love.
Life is not worth living unless it is lived for others.
You should never lose heart. God is merciful and kind- he has endowed you with the best gift- smile, which can make millions happy.
We need to realize that poverty doesn’t only consist of being hungry for bread, but rather it is a tremendous hunger for human dignity. We need to love and to be someone for someone else.
Each time people come into contact with us, they must become different and better people because of having met us. We must radiate God’s love.
In the silence of our hearts, God speaks of His love; with our silence, we allow Jesus to love us.
If you want to pray better, you have to pray more.
To love others as God loves you, that is the measure of success.
Prayer is the breath of life to our soul; holiness is impossible without it.
Abortion is profoundly anti-women.
The fullness of our heart is expressed in our eyes, our touch, in what we write and say, in the way we walk and the way we receive and in the way we serve.
What you are doing I cannot do, what I’m doing you cannot do, but together we are doing something beautiful for God. This is the greatness of God’s love for us – to give us the opportunity to become holy through the works of love that we do, because holiness is not the luxury of the few.
Give! Give the love you have received to those around you. You must love with your time, your hands, and your hearts. You need to share all that you have.
The true way and the sure way to friendship is through humility-being open to each other, accepting each other just as we are, knowing each other.
Put yourself completely under the influence of Jesus, so that he may think his thoughts in your mind, do his work through your hands, for you will be all-powerful with him to strengthen you.
A day lived without doing something good for others is a day not worth living.
We do our work for Jesus and with Jesus. It’s not a matter of praying some times and working others. We pray the work.
Our poverty is freedom. This is our poverty – the giving up our freedom to dispose of things, to choose, to possess.
Faith keeps the person who keeps the faith.
