Serve God joyfully. Let there be no sadness in your life: the only true sorrow is sin.

In Calcutta alone, we have given more than 1,000 children in adoption. I cannot calculate how many babies we get a year. But we never refuse anybody. Everybody is most welcome.

The woman is at the heart of the home. Let us pray that we women realize the reason for our existence: to love and be loved and through this love become instruments of peace in the world.

You can find Calcutta all over the world, if you have the eyes to see.

Silence of the heart is necessary so you can hear God everywhere - in the closing of the door, in the person who needs you, in the birds that sing, in the flowers, in the animals.

Nobody can convert you except God.

We must become holy, not because we want to feel holy, but because Christ must be able to live his life fully in us.
