Life is a promise; fulfill it.

It is easy to love the people far away. It is not always easy to love those close to us.

As far as I am concerned, the greatest suffering is to feel alone, unwanted, unloved. The greatest suffering is also having no one, forgetting what an intimate, truly human relationship is, not knowing what it means to be loved, not having a family or friends.

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.

If our bones were not sending whispers of doubt to our hearts, there would be no need for prayer at all.

Jesus has said "Come, blessed of my Father, take the seat in the kingdom prepared for you, because I was hungry you gave me food, I was thirsty you have me drink, I was naked you clothed me, I was homeless you took me home and I was sick you visited me." And we are just doing that.
