One thing that I ask of you: Never be afraid of giving. There is a deep joy in giving, since what we receive is much more than what we give.

I repeat that the poor, the sufferers from leprosy, the rejected, the alcoholics, whom we serve, are beautiful people. Many of them have wonderful personalities. The experience which we have by serving them, we must pass on to people who have not had that wonderful experience.

Do you want to do something beautiful for God? There is a person who needs you. This is your chance.

Spread the love of God through your life but only use words when necessary.

Give a glass of water, you give it to me. Receive a little child, you receive me.

We want to create hope for the person ... we must give hope, always hope.

On certain continents poverty is more spiritual than material, a poverty that consists of loneliness, discouragement, and the lack of meaning in life.
