Following Jesus is simple, but not easy. Love until it hurts, and then love more.

Each of us is merely a small instrument; all of us, after accomplishing our mission, will disappear.

I have never had clarity; what I have always had is trust. So I will pray that you will trust God.

You who have received so much love, show your love by protecting the sacredness of life. The sacredness of life is the greatest gifts that God has given us.

We must have a real living determination to reach holiness. ''I will be a saint'' means I will despoil myself of all that is not God; I will strip my heart of all created things; I will live in poverty and detachment; I will renounce my will, my inclinations, my whims and fancies, and make make myself a willing slave to the will of God.

The beginning of peace is a smile

God has created us to love and to be loved, and this is the beginning of prayer-to know that He loves me, that I have been created for greater things.
