I choose the poverty of our poor people. But I am grateful to receive it (the Nobel) in the name of the hungry, the naked, the homeless, of the crippled, of the blind, of the lepers, of all those people who feel unwanted, unloved, uncared for throughout society, people that have become a burden to the society and are shunned by everyone.

Suffering can become a means to greater love and greater generosity.

Joy is strength- Joy is love - Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls. She gives most who gives with Joy.

Living intensely each present day means letting Christ dwell within you. His words are so clear: Today I would like to enter your home.

Justice without love is not justice. Love without justice is not love

It is a kingly act to assist the fallen.
