You have to be holy in your position as you are, and I have to be holy in the position that God has put me. So it is nothing extraordinary to be holy. Holiness is not the luxury of the few. Holiness is a simple duty for you and for me. We have been created for that.
To God there is nothing small. The moment we have given it to God, it becomes infinite.
Life is not worth living unless it is lived for others.
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.
Be a living expression of God's kindness.
It is not possible to speak of the right to choose when a clear moral evil is involved, when what is at stake is the commandment, Do not kill!
Love means to be willing to give until it hurts...
Follow the path of serenity. Why lose your temper if by losing it you offend God, trouble your neighbor and in the end have to set things aright anyway?
She knows how to suffer and at the same time how to laugh.
Get to know the poor in your country. Love them. Serve them.
If you try, you will find it impossible to do one great thing. You can only do many small things with great love.
The more we empty ourselves, the more room we give God to fill us.
We do not strive for spectacular actions. What counts is the gift of yourself, the degree of love you put into each of your deeds.
We must pray to Jesus to give us that tenderness of the Eucharist.
