I am sure that all people know deep down inside that the little child in the mother's womb is a human being from the moment of conception, created in the image of God to love and be loved. Let us pray that nobody will be afraid to protect that little child, to help that little child to be born. Jesus said: 'If you receive a little child in my name, you receive me.'

The beginning of prayer is silence.

We are called to be contemplatives. ..by seeking the face of God in everything, everyone, everywhere, all the time.

The most important medicine is tender love and care.

Faith keeps the person who keeps the faith.

The mass is the spiritual food that sustains me, without which I could not get through one single day or hour in my life; in the mass we have Jesus in the appearance of bread. While in the slums we see Christ and touch him in the broken bodies, in the abandoned children.

We must never get into the habit of being preoccupied with the future. There is no reason to do so. God is there.
