There's enough hate in the world. I command you to love. And you have to make an effort.

No matter how corrupt the Church may become, it carries within it the seeds of its own regeneration.

It is only through religion that communism can be achieved, and has been achieved over and over.

You will know your vocation by the joy that it brings you. You will know. You will know when it's right.

If you are rushed for time, sow time and you will reap time. Go to church and spend a quiet hour in prayer. You will have more time than ever and your work will get done. Sow time with the poor. Sit and listen to them, give them your time lavishly. You will reap time a hundredfold.

The final word is love.

What we would like to do is change the world - make it a little simpler for people to feed, clothe, and shelter themselves as God intended for them to do....We can, to a certain extent, change the world; we can work for the oasis, the little cell of joy and peace in a harried world. We can throw our pebble in the pond and be confident that its ever widening circle will reach around the world. We repeat, there is nothing that we can do but love, and, dear God, please enlarge our hearts to love each other, to love our neighbor, to love our enemy as well as our friend.
