You have to do that here in your country. You must come to know the poor. Maybe our people here have material things, everything, but I think that if we all look into our own homes, how difficult we find it sometimes to smile at each other, and that the smile is the beginning of love.

Our poverty is freedom. This is our poverty - the giving up our freedom to dispose of things, to choose, to possess

It is by forgiving that one is forgiven.

People are hungry for God. Do you see that? Quite often we look but do not see. We are all passing through this world. We need to open our eyes and see.

Jesus loved everyone, but he loved children most of all. Today we know that unborn children are the targets of destruction. We must thank our parents for wanting us, for loving us and for taking such good care of us.

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

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