Real prayer is union with God,...
Real prayer is union with God, a union as vital as that of the vine to the branch..
If in coming face to face with God we accept Him in our lives, then we are converting. We become a better Hindu, a better Muslim, a better Catholic, a better whatever we are. ... What God is in your mind you must accept.
Let us be very sincere in our dealings with each other, and have the courage to accept each other as we are. Do not be surprised or become preoccupied at each other's failures - rather, see and find in each other the good, for each one of us is created in the image of God.
All of us must be saints in this world. Holiness is a duty for you and me. So let's be saints and so give glory to the Father.
The # poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty.
Because I cannot rely on myself, I rely on Him, twenty-four hours a day.
Communion with Christ gives us our strength, our joy, and our love.
There is only one God and He is God to all; therefore it is important that everyone is seen as equal before God. I've always said we should help a Hindu become a better Hindu, a Muslim become a better Muslim, a Catholic become a better Catholic.
Each one of them is Jesus in disguise.
I am Albanian by birth. Now I am a citizen of India. I am also a Catholic nun. In my work, I belong to the whole world. But in my heart, I belong to Christ.
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.
People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered. Love them anyway.
We, the unwilling,led by the unknowing,are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much,for so long,with so little,we are now qualified to do anything with nothing.
