My secret is a very simple one: I pray. To pray to Christ is to love him.

The future is not in our hands. We have no power over it. We can act only today. We have a sentence in our Constitution that says: 'We will allow the good God to make plans for the future - for yesterday has gone, tomorrow has not yet come and we have only today to make Him known, loved and served.' So we do not worry about the future.

I picked up a man from the street, and he was eaten up alive from worms. Nobody could stand him, and he was smelling so badly. I went to him to clean him, and he asked, 'Why do you do this?' I said, 'Because I love you.'

We may not be able to give much but we can always give the joy that springs in a heart that is in LOVE WITH GOD.

I always begin my prayer in silence, for it is in the silence of the heart that God speaks. God is the friend of silence-we need to listen to God because it's not what we say but what He says to us and through us that matters.

We have no salaries. When one says he is from a good Catholic family and says he wants to help us, why should we refuse his offer?

If we were able to see God's image in our neighbor, do you think weapons and generals would be needed?
