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

To fear is to expect punishment. To love is to know we are immersed not in darkness, but in light.

Do not allow yourselves to be disheartened by any failure as long as you have done your best.

We serve life, not because it is broken, but because it is holy.

If you want to have world peace, go to your house and love your family.

I will never tire of repeating this: what the poor need the most is not pity but love. They need to feel respect for their human dignity, which is neither less nor different from the dignity of any other human being.

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.
