Brothers, Fathers and Sisters - all of us in the Missionaries of Charity are doing the same. All of us have been created by God to love and to be loved. We are involved in this work. When you do that, there is joy, unity and love.

I have the feeling that we are in such a hurry that we do not have time to look at one another and smile.

You must give what will cost you something. This, then, is not just giving what you can live without but what you can't live without or don't want to live without, something you really like. Then your gift becomes a sacrifice, which will have value before God. Any sacrifice is useful if it is done out of love. This giving until it hurts - this sacrifice - is what I call love in action.

The more you have, the more you are occupied, the less you give.

We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.

In loving and serving, we prove that we have been created in the likeness of God, for God is Love and when we love we are like God.

Life is a song, sing it. Life is a struggle, accept it.
