Let us not use bombs and guns to overcome the world. Let us use love and compassion. Peace begins with a smile.

Holiness does not consist in doing extraordinary things. It consists in accepting, with a smile, what Jesus sends us. It consists in accepting and following the will of God.

The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway. For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.

Many people are concerned with children of India, with the children of Africa where quite a few die of hunger, and so on. Many people are also concerned about the violence in this great country of the United States. These concerns are very good. But often these same people are not concerned with the millions being killed by the deliberate decision of their own mothers. And this is the greatest destroyer of peace today- abortion which brings people to such blindness.

Failure is nothing but the kiss of Jesus.

Jesus said love one another. He didn't say love the whole world.

We are called to be contemplatives. ..by seeking the face of God in everything, everyone, everywhere, all the time.
