From the moment a soul has the grace to know God, she must seek.

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.

If you are Catholic, and some other person comes to you seeking guidance, naturally you take him straight away to someone who can show him God's love.

In order for us to be able to love, we need to have faith, because faith is love in action and love in action is service. In order for us to be able to love, we have to see and touch. Faith in action through prayer, faith in action through service: each is the same thing, the same love, the same compassion.

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

I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.

When you don't have anything, then you have everything.
