Give, but give until it hurts.
Nothing makes you happier than when you really reach out in mercy to someone who is badly hurt.
My mother and sister must be very happy to be home with God, and I am sure their love and prayers are always with me. When I go home to God, for death is nothing else but going home to God, the bond of love will be unbroken for all eternity.
If we pray, we will believe; If we believe, we will love; If we love, we will serve.
Suffering can become a means to greater love and greater generosity.
God never sends us more than we can handle.
The way you help heal the world is you start with your own family.
Love has a hem to her garment that reaches to the very dust. It sweeps the stains from the streets and lanes, and because it can, it must.
Let nothing perturb you, nothing frighten you. All things pass. God does not change. Patience achieves everything.
Everybody today seems to be in such a terrible rush, anxious for greater developments and greater riches and so on, so that children have very little time for their parents. Parents have very little time for each other, and in the home begins the disruption of peace of the world.
even God could do nothing for someone already full. You have to be completely empty to let Him in to do what He will.
Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat.
You must give what will cost you something. This is giving not just what you can live without, but what you can't live without, or don't want to live without, something you really like. Then your gift becomes a sacrifice, which will have value before God. This giving until it hurts - this sacrifice - is what I call love in action.
The greatest science in the world; in heaven and on earth; is love.
