Prayer does not demand that we interrupt our work, but that we continue working as if it were a prayer.

Holiness is not a luxury for the few; it is not just for some people. It is meant for you and for me and for all of us. It is a simple duty, because if we learn to love, we learn to be holy.

When you don't have anything, then you have everything.

We must become holy, not because we want to feel holy, but because Christ must be able to live his life fully in us.

The child is the beauty of God present in the world, that greatest gift to a family

I think it is very beautiful for the poor to accept their lot, to share it with the passion of Christ. I think the world is being much helped by the suffering of the poor people.

Because I cannot rely on myself, I rely on Him, twenty-four hours a day.
