If we were able to see God's image in our neighbor, do you think weapons and generals would be needed?
There is but one love of Jesus, as there is but one person in the poor - Jesus. We take vows of chastity to love Christ with undivided love; to be able to love him with undivided love we take a vow of poverty which frees us from all material possessions, and with that freedom we can love him with undivided love, and from this vow of undivided love we surrender ourselves totally to him in the person who takes his place.
If you really love one another, you will not be able to avoid making sacrifices.
Prayer to be fruitful must come from the heart and must be able to touch the heart of God.
To be able to proclaim the Good News to the poor we must know what is poverty.
I know I would not be able to work one week if it were not for that continual force coming from Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament,
We must become holy, not because we want to feel holy, but because Christ must be able to live his life fully in us.

We can not do great things. We can only do little things with great love.
We cannot do great things on this Earth, only small things with great love.
What we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But if that drop was not in the ocean, I think the ocean would be less because of that missing drop. I do not agree with the big way of doing things.
