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

Let's do something beautiful for God.

I always begin my prayer in silence, for it is in the silence of the heart that God speaks. God is the friend of silence-we need to listen to God because it's not what we say but what He says to us and through us that matters.

Be faithful to the time spent in prayer and make sure that at least half of your prayer is spent in silence. This will bring you closer to Jesus. If you deepen your prayer life you will grow in holiness and obtain many graces for the souls entrusted to your care. Deepen your love for one another by praying for each other and by sharing thoughts and graces you have received in prayer and reading.

Love has a hem to her garment that reaches to the very dust. It sweeps the stains from the streets and lanes, and because it can, it must.

If each of us would only sweep our own doorstep, the whole World would be clean.

The openness of our hearts and minds can be measured by how wide we draw the circle of what we call family.
