Sweetest Lord, make me appreciative of the dignity of my high vocation, and its many responsibilities. Never permit me to disgrace it by giving way to coldness, unkindness, or impatience.

I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot; together we can do great things.

Give the world the best you have and you may get hurt. Give the world your best anyway.

At the hour of death when we all come face to face with God we are going to be judged on love: how much we have loved, not how much we have done but how much love we have put in our action.

We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.

Death is nothing else but going home to God, the bond of love will be unbroken for all eternity.

Many people are very, very concerned with the children in India, with the children in Africa where quite a number die, maybe of malnutrition, of hunger and so on, but millions are dying deliberately by the will of the mother. And this is what is the greatest destroyer of peace today. Because if a mother can kill her own child - what is left for me to kill you and you kill me -- there is nothing between.
