We have been called to heal wounds, to unite what has fallen away, and to bring home those who have lost their way. Many who seem to us to be children of the Devil will still become Christ's disciples.

All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle.

Grant me the treasure of sublime poverty: permit the distinctive sign of our order to be that it does not possess anything of its own beneath the sun, for the glory of your name, and that it have no other patrimony than begging.

Blessed is the servant who loves his brother as much when he is sick and useless as when he is well and an be of service to him. And blessed is he who loves his brother as well when he is afar off as when he is by his side, and who would say nothing behind his back he might not, in love, say before his face.

Study always to have Joy, for it befits not the servant of God to show before his brother or another sadness or a troubled face.

And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

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