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

Cry the Gospel with your whole life.

We should never forget the two axioms: 'Jesus is with me' and whatever happens, happens by the will of God.

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.

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.

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.

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