God speaks in the silence of the heart.

God doesn't require us to succeed, he only requires that you try.

We must have a real living determination to reach holiness. ''I will be a saint'' means I will despoil myself of all that is not God; I will strip my heart of all created things; I will live in poverty and detachment; I will renounce my will, my inclinations, my whims and fancies, and make make myself a willing slave to the will of God.

I never look at the masses as my responsibility. I look at the individual. I can love only one person at a time. I can feed only one person at a time. Just one, one, one.

you [priests] are called 'another Christ.'

The biggest disease today is not leprosy or tuberculosis, but rather the feeling of being unwanted.

We serve life, not because it is broken, but because it is holy.
