Holy Angels, our advocates, our brothers, our counselors, our defenders, our enlighteners, our friends, our guides, our helpers, our intercessors - Pray for us.

We do not need guns and bombs to bring peace, we need love and compassion.

The more you have, the more you are occupied, the less you give. But the less you have the more free you are. Poverty for us is a freedom. It is not mortification, a penance. It is joyful freedom. There is no television here, no this, no that. But we are perfectly happy.

Prayer does not demand that we interrupt our work, but that we continue working as if it were a prayer.

The best way to show your gratitude to God and people is to accept everything with joy....We may not be able to give much but we can always give the joy that springs from a heart that is in love with God. All over the world people are hungry and thirsty for God's love. We meet that hunger by spreading joy. Joy is one of the best safeguards against temptation.

No matter who says what, you should accept it with a smile and do your own work.

If you are hungry to hear the voice of God, you will hear. To hear, you have to cut out all other things.
