Find your own Calcutta. Find the sick, the suffering and the lonely right there where you are.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway.
Keep in mind that our community is not composed of those who are already saints, but of those who are trying to become saints. Therefore let us be extremely patient with each other's faults and failures.
Never let anything so fill you with sorrow as to make you forget the joy of Christ risen.
The time you spend with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is the best time you will spend on earth. Each moment that you spend with Jesus will deepen your union with Him and make your soul everlastingly more glorious and beautiful in Heaven, and will help bring about everlasting peace on earth
Holiness does not consist in doing extraordinary things. It consists in accepting, with a smile, what Jesus sends us. It consists in accepting and following the will of God.
Life isn't about the cherished moments it is also about the hard ones. Just knowing each day that you will arise with the bright shining sun in your eyes. And end with the cool breeze upon your face as you slowly reflect the day that passed by.
A life not lived for others is not a life.
The future is not in our hands. We have no power over it. We can act only today. We have a sentence in our Constitution that says: 'We will allow the good God to make plans for the future - for yesterday has gone, tomorrow has not yet come and we have only today to make Him known, loved and served.' So we do not worry about the future.
Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do... but how much love we put in that action.
Do ordinary things with extraordinary love.
It is not how much we do, but how much love we put in the doing. It is not how much we give, but how much love we put in the giving.
The trees, the flowers, the plants grow in silence. The stars, the sun, the moon move in silence. Silence gives us a new perspective.
People are unrealistic, illogical, and self-centered. Love them anyway.
