There are some people who, in order not to pray use as an excuse the fact that life is so hectic that it prevents us from praying. This cannot be. Prayer does not demand that we interrupt our work, but that we continue working as if it were a prayer. It is not necessary to always be in meditation, nor to consciously experience the sensation that we are talking to God, no matter how nice that would be. What matters is being with Him, living in Him, in His will. To love with a pure heart, to love everybody, especially to live the poor, is a twenty-four hour prayer.

The ocean is made of drops.

Anybody who helps the poor is delighted.

Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do, but how much love we put in the action that we do.

People are hungry for God. What [a] terrible meeting [it] would be with our neighbour if we give them only ourselves.

Don't wait to be led...do it yourself, person to person.

If you think well of others, you will also speak well of others and to others. From the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. If your heart is full of love, you will speak of love.
