Grant me the treasure of sublime poverty.

It was easy to love God in all that was beautiful. The lessons of deeper knowledge, though, instructed me to embrace God in all things.

Remember that when you leave this earth, you can take with you nothing that you have received - only what you have given: a full heart, enriched by honest service, love, sacrifice and courage.

Where there is discord may we bring harmony. Where there is error, may we bring truth. Where there is doubt, may we bring faith. Where there is despair, may we bring hope.

Lord, grant that I might not so much seek to be loved as to love.

Do all you can to preach the gospel and if necessary use words!

I have been all things unholy. If God can work through me, he can work through anyone.
