There are two victims in every abortion: a dead baby and a dead conscience.
God is everywhere and in everything and without Him we cannot exist.
In reality, there is only one true prayer, only one substantial prayer: Christ himself. There is only one voice which rises above the face of the earth, the voice of Christ. Prayer is oneness with Christ.
Yesterday is gone and tomorrow has not yet come; we must live each day as if it were our last so that when God calls us we already, and prepared, to die with a clean heart.
We must remember that life begins at home and we must also remember that the future of humanity passes through the family
We need prayer to understand God's love for us. If we really mean to pray and want to pray we must be ready to do it now. These are only the first steps towards prayer but if we never make the first step with determination, we will not reach the last one: the presence of God
Be humble and you will never be disturbed. It is very difficult in practice because we all want to see the result of our work. Leave it to Jesus.
Each one of them is Jesus in disguise.
Silence gives us a new way of looking at something.
The fruit of love is service, which is compassion in action.
If you are humble nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace, because you know what you are.
How much love did you put into what you did?
Our progress in holiness depends on God and ourselves - on God's grace and on our will to be holy.
Holiness grows so fast where there is kindness. The world is lost for want of sweetness and kindness. Do not forget we need each other.
