He came amongst his own and his own received him not, and it hurt him then and it has kept on hurting him. The same hunger, the same loneliness, the same having no one to be accepted by and to be loved and wanted by.

I heard the call to give up all and follow Christ into the slums to serve Him among the poorest of the poor. It was an order.

‎I don't think we can do anything more than what we are doing now.

If in coming face to face with God we accept Him in our lives, then we are converting. We become a better Hindu, a better Muslim, a better Catholic, a better whatever we are. ... What God is in your mind you must accept.

Everything starts with prayer. Love to pray-feel the need to pray often during the day and take the trouble to pray. If you want to pray better, you must pray more. The more you pray, the easier it becomes. Perfect prayer does not consist of many words but in the fervor of the desire which raises the heart to Jesus.

We have not come into the world to be numbered; we have been created for a purpose; for great things: to love and be loved.

Love to be real, it must cost—it must hurt—it must empty us of self.
