Be happy in the moment, that's enough. Each moment is all we need, not more.
The highest form of worship is to find the least among you and treat them like Jesus.
You can pray while you work. Work doesn't stop prayer and prayer doesn't stop work. It requires only that small raising of the mind to him: I love you God, I trust you, I believe in you, I need you now. Small things like that. They are wonderful prayers.
If you can't do great things, do little things with great love. If you can't do them with great love, do them with a little love. If you can't do them with a little love, do them anyway.
Love begins by taking care of the closest ones - the ones at home.
The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.
Like Mary, let us be full of zeal to go in haste to give Jesus to others. She was full of grace when, at the annunciation, she received Jesus. Like her, we too become full of grace every time we receive Holy Communion. It is the same Jesus whom she received and whom we receive at Mass. As soon as we receive Jesus in Holy Communion, let us go in haste to give Him to our sisters, to our poor, to the sick, to the dying, to the lepers, to the unwanted, and the unloved. By this we make Jesus present in the world today.
If we really want to love we must learn how to forgive.
Let us not use bombs and guns to overcome the world. Let us use love and compassion. Peace begins with a smile.
Whenever you share love with others, you'll notice the peace that comes to you and to them.
I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot; together we can do great things.
God didn't call me to be successful, He called me to be faithful.
If each of us would only sweep our own doorstep, the whole World would be clean.
We must make our homes centers of compassion and forgive endlessly.
