Love cannot remain by itself - it has no meaning. Love has to be put into action and that action is service.

To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.

Our progress in holiness depends on God and ourselves - on God's grace and on our will to be holy.

Make us worthy Lord to serve our fellow men throughout the world who live and die in poverty and hunger. Give them through our hands this day their daily bread and by our understanding love, give peace and joy.

I feel called to help individuals, to love each human being. I never think in terms of crowds in general but in terms of persons. Were I to think about crowds, I would never begin anything.

If you pray more you will pray better.

May God break my heart so completely that the whole world falls in.
