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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.
