Do you want to be great? Pick up a broom and sweep the floor.
Prayer does not demand that we interrupt our work, but that we continue working as if it were a prayer.
If abortion isn't wrong, then nothing is wrong.
If there are poor on the moon, we will go there too.
I believe God loves the world through us - through you and through me. We use Mother Teresa's name; it is only a name, but we are real co-workers and carriers of His love. Today God loves the world through us. Especially in times like these when people are trying to make God "was," it is you and I, by our love, by the purity of our lives, by our compassion, who prove to the world that God "is."
Keep your heart pure. A pure heart is necessary to see God in each other. If you see God in each other, there is love for each other, then there is peace.
If we really want to love, if we really want to live, we must love until it hurts . . . No Rotarian whose motto is Service Above Self, I think, should call himself a Rotarian if he does not make time to serve . . . If we love, we begin to serve
Faith is a gift from God and he gives it to whomever he chooses
It is only when you realize your nothingness, your emptiness, that God can fill you with Himself.
Do great in the small things.
I feel called to help individuals, to love each human being. I never think in terms of crowds in general but in terms of persons. Were I to think about crowds, I would never begin anything.
If we were able to see God's image in our neighbor, do you think weapons and generals would be needed?
When you look at the Sacred Host you understand how much Jesus loves you now.
In loving and serving, we prove that we have been created in the likeness of God, for God is Love and when we love we are like God.
