We should not serve the poor like they were Jesus. We should serve the poor because they are Jesus.

Faith is a gift of God. Without it there would be no life. And our work, to be fruitful, and to be all for God, and to be beautiful, has to be built of faith. Faith in Christ who has said, I was hungry, I was naked, I was sick, and I was homeless, and you ministered to me! On these words of His all our work is based.

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.

A joyful heart is the normal result of a heart burning with love. She gives most who gives with joy.

Our life of poverty is as necessary as the work itself. Only in heaven will we see how much we owe to the poor for helping us to love God better because of them.

I still think that the greatest suffering is being lonely, feeling unloved, just having no one... That is the worst disease that any human being can ever experience.

The more you have, the more you are occupied, the less you give.
