God does not demand that I be successful. God demands that I be faithful. When facing God, results are not important. Faithfulness is what is important.

Pain and suffering have come into your life, but remember pain, sorrow, suffering are but the kiss of Jesus - a sign that you have come so close to Him that He can kiss you.

One thing will always secure heaven for us-the acts of charity and kindness with which we have filled our lives. We can do no great things, only small things with great love.

I once picked up a woman from a garbage dump and she was burning with fever; she was in her last days and her only lament was: My son did this to me. I begged her: You must forgive your son. In a moment of madness, when he was not himself, he did a thing he regrets. Be a mother to him, forgive him. It took me a long time to make her say: I forgive my son. Just before she died in my arms, she was able to say that with a real forgiveness. She was not concerned that she was dying. The breaking of the heart was that her son did not want her. This is something you and I can understand.

People everywhere are the same; they are all people to be loved. They are all hungry for love.

Nobody can force you, not even the holy prophets.

If only one little unhappy child is made happy with the love of Jesus,...will it not be worth...giving all for that?
