Anything that doesn't lead us to that - to better know and serve God - is a waste of time.

The absence of risk is a sure sign of mediocrity.

What great faith our Lord Jesus Christ asks of us - and how just that is. Do we not owe him such faith? It looks impossible to us, but Jesus is Master of the impossible.

As soon as I came to believe there was a God, I understood that I could not do otherwise than live only for him.

You have only one model, Jesus. Follow, follow, follow him, step by step, imitating him, sharing his life in every way.

It is not necessary to teach others, to cure them or to improve them; it is only necessary to live among them, sharing the human condition and being present to them in love.

To receive the grace of God you must go to the desert and stay awhile.
