We must know that we have been created for greater things, not just to be a number in the world, not just to go for diplomas and degrees, this work and that work. We have been created in order to love and to be loved.

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.

I have told everybody that what we are doing is for the love of God and works of love are always to accept and respect others.

Loneliness is the leprosy of the modern world.

Don't look for big things, just do small things with great love...the smaller the thing, the greater must be our love.

God gives us things to share, God doesn't give us things to hold.

Everything starts from prayer. Without asking God for love, we cannot possess love and still less are we able to give it to others. Just as people today are speaking so much about the poor but they do not know or talk to the poor, we too cannot talk so much about prayer and yet not know how to pray.
