We need silence to be able to touch souls.

The family that prays together stays together, and if they stay together they will love one another as God has loved each one of them. And works of love are always works of peace.

In the silence of our hearts, God speaks of His love; with our silence, we allow Jesus to love us.

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.

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

Jesus has said "Come, blessed of my Father, take the seat in the kingdom prepared for you, because I was hungry you gave me food, I was thirsty you have me drink, I was naked you clothed me, I was homeless you took me home and I was sick you visited me." And we are just doing that.

I can do only one thing, like a little dog follow closely the Master's footsteps. Pray that I be a cheerful dog.
