It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish.

Everything that is not given is lost.

What is called generosity is usually only the vanity of giving; we enjoy the vanity more. If you can't feed a hundred people, then just feed one.

In doing your best serving others for free, a lot of eyebrows will raise and sneers will curve many a - faces. But in the end those incredulous to what you put up with to help, no longer matter. It's not between you and those snobs, but with whom you have given your hand to lift, and of course to God who Is watching and noting it in your book.

I always begin my prayer in silence, for it is in the silence of the heart that God speaks. God is the friend of silence-we need to listen to God because it's not what we say but what He says to us and through us that matters.

Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.

I do make conversion, if conversion means really turning people to God - to have a clean heart and to love God. That's the real conversion.
