Every human being in that case resembles Christ in his loneliness; and that is the hardest part, that's real hunger.

People are not hungry just for bread, they are hungry for love.

Nobody can change your religion unless you want to and God gives you the grace. It's between you and God alone. Nobody can force you.

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.

To God there is nothing small. The moment we have given it to God, it becomes infinite.

We the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much, with so little, for so long, we are now qualified to do anything, with nothing.

You must give what will cost you something. This, then, is not just giving what you can live without but what you can't live without or don't want to live without, something you really like. Then your gift becomes a sacrifice, which will have value before God. Any sacrifice is useful if it is done out of love. This giving until it hurts - this sacrifice - is what I call love in action.
