Be the living expression of God's kindness; kindness in your eyes, kindness in your face, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greetings. We are all but His instruments who do our little bit and pass by. I believe that the way in which an act of kindness is done is as important as the action itself.

A life not lived for others is not a life.

We pick up people dying full of worms from the street. We have picked up more than 40,000 of them. If I lift up such a person, clean him, love him and serve him, is it conversion? He has been there like an animal in the street but I am giving him love and he dies peacefully. That peace comes from his heart. That's between him and God.

People are generally irrational, unreasonable and selfish. They deserve to be loved, anyway.

Souls of prayer are souls of great silence

Never worry about numbers. Help one person at a time and always start with the person nearest you.

The miracle is not that we do this work, but that we are happy to do it.
