You must give what will cost you something. This, then, is not just giving what you can live without but what you can't live without or don't want to live without, something you really like. Then your gift becomes a sacrifice, which will have value before God. Any sacrifice is useful if it is done out of love. This giving until it hurts - this sacrifice - is what I call love in action.

People are unrealistic, illogical, and self-centered. Love them anyway.

Our progress in holiness depends on God and ourselves - on God's grace and on our will to be holy.

Following Jesus is simple, but not easy. Love until it hurts, and then love more.

If you have a sick or lonely person at home, be there. Maybe just to hold a hand, maybe just to give a smile, that is the greatest, the most beautiful work.

Work without love is slavery.

Holy living consists in doing God's work with a smile.
