Let anyone who comes to you go away feeling better and happier. Everyone should see goodness in your face, in your eyes, in your smile. Joy shows from the eyes. It appears when we speak and walk. It cannot be kept closed inside us. It reacts outside. Joy is very infectious.

I will never tire of repeating this: what the poor need the most is not pity but love. They need to feel respect for their human dignity, which is neither less nor different from the dignity of any other human being.

To show great love for God and our neighbor we need not do great things. It is how much love we put in the doing that makes our offering something beautiful for God.

In the end, dear friend, it is always between us and God, not between us and them.

The fruit of faith is love.

Love cannot remain by itself - it has no meaning. Love has to be put into action and that action is service.

If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
