Life is an opportunity, benefit from it. Life is beauty, admire it. Life is a dream, realize it
Open your hearts to the love God instills . . . God loves you tenderly. What He gives you is not to be kept under lock and key, but to be shared.
We may not be able to give much but we can always give the joy that springs in a heart that is in LOVE WITH GOD.
There is but one love of Jesus, as there is but one person in the poor - Jesus. We take vows of chastity to love Christ with undivided love; to be able to love him with undivided love we take a vow of poverty which frees us from all material possessions, and with that freedom we can love him with undivided love, and from this vow of undivided love we surrender ourselves totally to him in the person who takes his place.
Everybody has something good inside them. Some hide it, some neglect it, but it is there
The joy of the presence of Jesus, you must be able to give wherever you go. But you cannot give what you don't have. That's why you need a pure heart, a pure heart that you will receive as a fruit of your prayer, as a fruit of your oneness with Christ.
The humility of Jesus can be seen in the crib, in the exile to Egypt, in the hidden life, in the inability to make people understand Him, in the desertion of His apostles, in the hatred of His persecutors, in all the terrible suffering and death of His Passion, and now in His permanent state of humility in the tabernacle, where He has reduced Himself to such a small particle of bread that the priest can hold Him with two fingers. The more we empty ourselves, the more room we give God to fill us.
The family that prays together stays together, and if they stay together they will love one another as God has loved each one of them. And works of love are always works of peace.
Only humility will lead us to unity, and unity to peace
If you really love one another, you will not be able to avoid making sacrifices.
Success will win you false friends and true enemies - succeed anyway.
Prayer to be fruitful must come from the heart and must be able to touch the heart of God.
The beginning of prayer is silence ...
The ocean is made of drops.
