Once we take our eyes away from ourselves, from our interests, from our own rights, privileges, ambitions - then they will become clear to see Jesus around us.
A clean heart is a free heart. A free heart can love Christ with an undivided love in chastity, convinced that nothing and nobody will separate it from his love. Purity, chastity, and virginity created a special beauty in Mary that attracted God's attention. He showed his great love for the world by giving Jesus to her.
The more you have, the more you are occupied, the less you give.
I love all religions, but I am in love with my own.
To be pure, to remain pure, can only come at a price, the price of knowing God and loving him enough to do his will. He will always give us the strength we need to keep purity as something as beautiful for him.
We realize that what we are accomplishing is a drop in the ocean. But if this drop were not in the ocean, it would be missed.
Prayer enlarges the heart until it is capable of containing God's gift of Himself.
All of us must be saints in this world. Holiness is a duty for you and me. So let's be saints and so give glory to the Father.
The # poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty.
When Christ said: I was hungry and you fed me, he didn't mean only the hunger for bread and for food; he also meant the hunger to be loved. Jesus himself experienced this loneliness. He came amongst his own and his own received him not, and it hurt him then and it has kept on hurting him. The same hunger, the same loneliness, the same having no one to be accepted by and to be loved and wanted by. Every human being in that case resembles Christ in his loneliness; and that is the hardest part, that's real hunger.
Because I cannot rely on myself, I rely on Him, twenty-four hours a day.
It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish.
Do not worry about your career. Concern yourself with your vocation, and that is to be lovers of Jesus.
The success of love is in the loving - it is not in the result of loving.
