Our life of poverty is as necessary as the work itself. Only in heaven will we see how much we owe to the poor for helping us to love God better because of them.
The woman is at the heart of the home. Let us pray that we women realize the reason for our existence: to love and be loved and through this love become instruments of peace in the world.
Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty.
Even the rich are hungry for love, for being cared for, for being wanted, for having someone to call their own.
Do you want to do something beautiful for God? There is a person who needs you. This is your chance.
Live simply so others may simply live.
The greatest destroyer of peace is abortion.
Give your hands to serve and your hearts to love.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
A clean heart can see God, can speak to God, and can see the love of God in others.
May God break my heart so completely that the whole world falls in.
We are at Jesus' disposal. If he wants you to be sick in bed, if he wants you to proclaim His work in the street, if he wants you to clean the toilets all day, that's all right, everything is all right. We must say, "I belong to you. You can do whatever you like." And this ..is our strength, and this is the joy of the Lord.
Faith in action is love, and love in action is service. By transforming that faith into living acts of love, we put ourselves in contact with God Himself, with Jesus our Lord.
God will never, never, never let us down if we have faith and put our trust in Him. He will always look after us. So we must cleave to Jesus. Our whole life must simply be woven into Jesus.
