The absence of risk is a sure sign of mediocrity.

The one thing we owe absolutely to God is never to be afraid of anything.

To love anyone is to hope in him for always. From the moment at which we begin to judge anyone, to limit our confidence in him, from the moment at which we identify him with what we know of him and so reduce him to that, we cease to love him and he ceases to be able to be better.

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

Cry the Gospel with your whole life.

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

Above all, always see Jesus in every person, and consequently treat each one not only as an equal and as a brother or sister, but also with great humility, respect and selfless generosity.
