You can and you must expect suffering.

The first step to becoming is to will it.

Prayer does not demand that we interrupt our work, but that we continue working as if it were a prayer.

Intense love does not measure, it just gives.

A clean heart can see God, can speak to God, and can see the love of God in others.

Jesus has very clearly said in the gospel. "Whatever you do, do to the least of my brethren." Clear? That was the work of Jesus.

We must not drift away from the humble works, because these are the works nobody will do. It is never too small. We are so small we look at things in a small way. But God, being Almighty, sees everything great. Therefore, even if you write a letter for a blind man or you just go sit and listen, or you take the mail for him, or you visit somebody or bring a flower to somebody-small things-or wash clothes for somebody, or clean the house. Very humble work, that is where you and I must be. For there are many people who can do big things. But there are very few people who will do the small things.
