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.

Where does love begin? In our own homes. When does it begin? When we pray together. The family that prays together stays together.

If we were humble, nothing would change us-neither praise nor discouragement. If someone were to criticize us, we would not feel discouraged. If someone would praise us, we also would not feel proud.

More tears are shed over answered prayers than unanswered ones.

Peace begins with a smile.

We are not social workers. We are contemplatives in the heart of the world.
