If you can't do great things, do little things with great love. If you can't do them with great love, do them with a little love. If you can't do them with a little love, do them anyway.

Prayer is nothing but that complete surrender, complete oneness with Christ. And this is what makes us contemplative in the heart of the world; for we are twenty-four hours then in His presence: in the hungry, in the naked, in the homeless, in the unwanted, unloved, uncared for. For Jesus said, Whatever you do to the least of my brethren, you do it to me.

In the silence of the heart God speaks. If you face God in prayer and silence, God will speak to you. Then you will know that you are nothing. It is only when you realize your nothingness, your emptiness, that God can fill you with Himself. Souls of prayer are souls of great silence.

Let us remain as empty as possible so that God can fill us up.

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

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

The family that prays together stays together, and if they stay together they will love one another as God has loved each one of them. And works of love are always works of peace.
