Whenever you share love with others, you'll notice the peace that comes to you and to them.

You who have received so much love, share it with others. Love others the way that God has loved you, with tenderness.

Every human being in that case resembles Christ in his loneliness; and that is the hardest part, that's real hunger.

They should give until it hurts, maybe a very small thing, maybe just a packet of cigarettes, but instead of by smoking that one packet, maybe I share that packet with somebody who has not got even one cigarette, and that's the beginning of love, to give until it hurts.

Prayer is as necessary as the air, as the blood in our bodies, as anything to keep us alive-to keep us alive to the grace of God.

Be faithful to the time spent in prayer and make sure that at least half of your prayer is spent in silence. This will bring you closer to Jesus. If you deepen your prayer life you will grow in holiness and obtain many graces for the souls entrusted to your care. Deepen your love for one another by praying for each other and by sharing thoughts and graces you have received in prayer and reading.

In the poorest of the poor we see Jesus in distressed guise.
