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?

Keep the corners of your mouth turned up. Speak in a low, persuasive tone. Listen; be teachable. Laugh at good stories and learn to tell them...For as long as you are green, you can grow.

People who really want help may attack you if you help them. Help them anyway.

I am nothing; I am but an instrument, a tiny pencil in the hands of the Lord with which He writes what he likes. However imperfect we are, he writes beautifully.

I see Jesus in every human being. I say to myself, this is hungry Jesus, I must feed him. This is sick Jesus. This one has leprosy or gangrene; I must wash him and tend to him. I serve becuase I love Jesus.

Of all the diseases I have known, loneliness is the worst.

If you pray more you will pray better.
