As each Sister is to become a Co-Worker of Christ in the slums, each ought to understand what God and the Missionaries of Charity expect from her. Let Christ radiate and live his life in her and through her in the slums. Let the poor, seeing her, be drawn to Christ and invite him to enter their homes and their lives. Let the sick and suffering find in her a real angel of comfort and consolation. Let the little ones of the streets cling to her because she reminds them of him, the friend of the little ones.

Poverty was not created by God. It is we who have caused it, you and I through our egotism.

Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being's entitlement by virtue of his humanity.

I want you to be concerned about your next door neighbor. Do you know your next door neighbor?

Holiness consists of doing the will of God with a smile.

I see somebody dying, I pick him up.

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.
