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

Man should tremble, the world should vibrate, all heaven should be deeply moved when the Son of God appears on the altar in the hands of the priest.

The one you are looking for is the one who is looking.

Be Thou praised, my Lord, of our Sister Mother Earth, which sustains and hath us in rule, and produces divers fruits with coloured flowers and herbs.

You should never praise anyone until you see how he turns out in the end!

Not to hurt our humble brethren is our first duty to them, but to stop there is not enough. We have a higher mission - to be of service to them whenever they require it.

What is it that stands higher than words? Action. What is it that stands higher than action? Silence.
