Today, if we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other-that man, that woman, that child is my brother or my sister. If everyone could see the image of God in his neighbor, do you think we would still need tanks and generals?

The openness of our hearts and minds can be measured by how wide we draw the circle of what we call family.

There is a terrible hunger for love. We all experience that in our lives - the pain, the loneliness. We must have the courage to recognize it. The poor you may have right in your own family. Find them. Love them.

The poor are our brothers and sisters ... people in the world who need love, who need care, who have to be wanted.

I remember I picked up a person from the street who was nearly eaten up with maggots, and he said, I have lived like an animal, but I am going to die like an angel, loved and cared for.

Faith is a gift from God and he gives it to whomever he chooses

Prayer to be fruitful must come from the heart and must be able to touch the heart of God.
