The Simple Path Silence is Prayer Prayer is Faith Faith is Love Love is Service The Fruit of Service is Peace
Christ came to be Father's compassion to the world. Be kind in your actions. Do not think that you are the only one who can do efficient work, work worth showing. This makes you harsh in your judgment of others who may not have the same talents. Do your best and trust that others do their best. And be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.
Justice without love is not justice. Love without justice is not love
A smile is the beginning of peace.
Let us preach you, Dear Jesus, without preaching.... not by words but by our example.
Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration with exposition needs a great push. People ask me: 'What will convert America and save the world?' My answer is prayer. What we need is for every parish to come before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament in holy hours of prayer.
Today it is fashionable to talk about the poor. Unfortunately, it is not fashionable to talk with them.
I do not pray for success, I ask for faithfulness.
We want to create hope for the person ... we must give hope, always hope.
If we can not love the person whom we see, how can we love God whom we can not see?
You may be exhausted with work, you may even kill yourself, but unless your work is interwoven with love, it is useless. To work without love is slavery.
One filled with joy preaches without preaching.
The more we can give in our silent prayer, the more we can give in our active life.
I think it is very beautiful for the poor to accept their lot, to share it with the passion of Christ. I think the world is being much helped by the suffering of the poor people.
