Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.

Anybody who helps the poor is delighted.

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

Love is not patronizing and charity isn't about pity, it is about love. Charity and love are the same -- with charity you give love, so don't just give money but reach out your hand instead.

Humility is the mother of all virtues; purity, charity and obedience. It is in being humble that our love becomes real, devoted and ardent. If you are humble nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace, because you know what you are. If you are blamed you will not be discouraged. If they call you a saint you will not put yourself on a pedestal.

Look at the cross and you will know what one soul means to Jesus.

God does not require that we be successful only that we be faithful.
