We need silence to be able to touch souls.

I will never tire of repeating this: what the poor need the most is not pity but love. They need to feel respect for their human dignity, which is neither less nor different from the dignity of any other human being.

Suffering, if it is accepted together, borne together, is joy.

you [priests] are called 'another Christ.'

Yesterday is gone and tomorrow has not yet come; we must live each day as if it were our last so that when God calls us we already, and prepared, to die with a clean heart.

If we pray, we will believe; If we believe, we will love; If we love, we will serve.

Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.
