I heard the call to give up all and follow Christ into the slums to serve Him among the poorest of the poor. It was an order.

I do not agree with a big way of doing things. What matters is the individual. If we wait till we get numbers, then we will be lost in the numbers and we will never be able to show that love and respect for the person.

Peace begins with a smile. I will never understand all the good that a simple smile can accomplish.

I pray that you will understand the words of Jesus, “Love one another as I have loved you.” Ask yourself “How has he loved me? Do I really love others in the same way?” Unless this love is among us, we can kill ourselves with work and it will only be work, not love. Work without love is slavery.

Maybe if I didn't pick up that one person, I wouldn't have picked up forty-two thousand.

Any country that accepts abortion is the poorest of the poor

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.
