While the Lord will magnify us in both subtle and dramatic ways, he can only guide our footsteps when we move our feet.

The prime duty of help to the poor by the Church is not to bring temporal relief to their needs, but salvation to their souls.

No, the Lord doesn't really need us to take care of the poor, but we need this experience; for it is only through our learning how to take care of each other that we develop within us the Christlike love and disposition necessary to qualify us to return to his presence.

Forgiveness is as wide as repentance.

The efficacy of our prayers depends on how much we care for one another.

My soul has made its greatest growth as I have been driven to my knees by adversity and affliction.

The key to happiness is to get the spirit and keep it.
