My secret is simple -- I pray.

There is thing you can do but I can not and there is thing I can but you can not; so let us make something beautiful together

We must love prayer. It widens the heart to the point of making it capable of containing the gift that God makes of himself. Ask and seek, and your heart will be widened to welcome him and to keep him within itself.

Let us remain as empty as possible so that God can fill us up.

In our home (for the dying at Kali Ghat) in Calcutta, there is great peace, unity and love. Many Hindu families bring food, clothing nonstop to our home for the dying. This is an act of love. I didn't ask them. They have only heard about what I am doing and they all come.

Try to put in the hearts of your children a love for home. Make them long to be with their families. So much sin could be avoided if our people really loved their homes.

Be faithful in little things, for in them your strength lies. To the good God nothing is little, because He is so great and we are so small.
