I think it is very beautiful for the poor to accept their lot, to share it with the passion of Christ. I think the world is being much helped by the suffering of the poor people.

Nobody can change your religion unless you want to and God gives you the grace. It's between you and God alone. Nobody can force you.

Keep Giving Jesus to the people, not by words but by your example, by being in love with Jesus, by radiating holiness and spreading his fragrance of love everywhere you go. Just keep the joy of Jesus as your strength, be happy and at peace.

Bring love into your home, for this is where our love for each other must start

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.

We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence.

Love until it hurts. Real love is always painful and hurts: then it is real and pure.
