Suffering can become a means to greater love and greater generosity.

This is the meaning of true love, to give until it hurts.

Today somebody is suffering, today somebody is in the street, today somebody is hungry. ... We have only today to make Jesus known, loved, served, fed, clothed, sheltered. Do not wait for tomorrow. Tomorrow we will not have them if we do not feed them today.

Any country that accepts abortion is the poorest of the poor

Any work of love brings a person face to face with God.

We need silence to be alone with God, to speak to him, to listen to him, to ponder his words deep in our hearts. We need to be alone with God in silence to be renewed and transformed. Silence gives us a new outlook on life. In it we are filled with the energy of God himself that makes us do all things with joy.

The purpose of guilt is to bring us to the Lord, after that it has no purpose.
