I do not pray for success, I ask for faithfulness.

Sometimes it is harder for us to smile at those who live with us, the immediate members of our families, than it is to smile at those who are not so close to us. Let us never forget: love begins at home.

Love has no meaning if it isn't shared. We have been created for greater things - to love and to be loved... To love a person without any conditions, without any expectations. Small things, done in great love, bring joy and peace. To love, it is necessary to give. To give, it is necessary to be free from selfishness.

Let us make that one point - that no child will be unwanted, unloved, uncared for, or killed and thrown away.

In the poorest of the poor we see Jesus in distressed guise.

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

Following Jesus is simple, but not easy. Love until it hurts, and then love more.
