The dying, the cripple, the mental, the unwanted, the unloved-- they are Jesus in disguise.

When a poor person dies I want then to die in the arms of somebody who loves them. I want them to be able to look for the last time into the eyes of somebody who cares for them

Do not look for Jesus away from yourselves. He is not out there; He is in you. Keep your lamp burning, and you will recognize him.

Do not worry about why problems exist in the world - just respond to people's needs.

Let us not be afraid to be humble, small, helpless to prove our love for God. The cup of water you give the sick, the way you lift a dying man, the way you feed a baby, the way you teach a dull child, the way you give medicine to a sufferer of leprosy, the joy with which you smile at your own at home - all this is God's love in the world today.

God speaks in the silence of the heart. Listening is the beginning of prayer.

The poor are great! The poor are wonderful! The poor are very generous! They give us much more than what we give them.
