We need prayer to understand God's love for us. If we really mean to pray and want to pray we must be ready to do it now. These are only the first steps towards prayer but if we never make the first step with determination, we will not reach the last one: the presence of God

It is more difficult to fight poverty in a rich country than in a poor one.

We must never get into the habit of being preoccupied with the future. There is no reason to do so. God is there.

I trust that God wouldn't give me more than I can handle. I just wish he didn't have such faith in me.

Christ prays in me, Christ works in me, Christ thinks in me, Christ looks through my eyes, Christ speaks through my words, Christ works with my hands, Christ walks with my feet, Christ loves with my heart. As St Paul's prayer was: I belong to Christ and nothing will separate me from the love of Christ. It was that oneness, oneness with God in the Holy Spirit.

Following Jesus is simple, but not easy. Love until it hurts, and then love more.

In the poor we meet Jesus in his most distressing disguises.
