It is Christmas every time you let God love others through you...yes, it is Christmas every time you smile at your brother and offer him your hand.

Be kind and merciful. Let no one ever come to you without coming away better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness.

There is a terrible hunger for love. We all experience that in our lives - the pain, the loneliness. We must have the courage to recognize it. The poor you may have right in your own family. Find them. Love them.

The more you forget yourself, the more Jesus will think of you.

If I look at the mass I will never act.

God does not create poverty; we do, because we do not share.

We must not drift away from the humble works, because these are the works nobody will do. It is never too small. We are so small we look at things in a small way. But God, being Almighty, sees everything great. Therefore, even if you write a letter for a blind man or you just go sit and listen, or you take the mail for him, or you visit somebody or bring a flower to somebody-small things-or wash clothes for somebody, or clean the house. Very humble work, that is where you and I must be. For there are many people who can do big things. But there are very few people who will do the small things.
