There should be less talk. A preaching point is not a meeting point.

Do great in the small things.

My prayer for you is that you come to understand and have the courage to answer Jesus' call to you with the simple word 'yes'.

Jesus announced which will be the criteria of the final judgment of our lives: we will be judged according to love.We will be judged according to the poor of spirit or money.

I am not sure exactly what heaven will be like, but I know that when we die and it comes time for God to judge us, he will not ask, 'How many good things have you done in your life?' rather he will ask, 'How much love did you put into what you did?'

Each of us is merely a small instrument; all of us, after accomplishing our mission, will disappear.

The first time I received an award, I was very surprised. I did not know whether to accept it or not. But I came to the conclusion that I should accept awards in the name of the poorest poor, as a form of homage to them. I think that basically, when awards are given to me, the existence of the poor in the world is being recognized.
