A Christian is the dwelling place of the living God. He created me, he chose me, He came to dwell in me, because he wanted me. Now that you have known how much God is in love with you it is but natural that you spend the rest of your life radiating that love.

If you are joyful, do not worry about lukewarmness. Joy will shine in your eyes and in your look, in your conversation and in your countenance. You will not be able to hide it because joy overflows.

I trust that God wouldn't give me more than I can handle. I just wish he didn't have such faith in me.

It is not possible to speak of the right to choose when a clear moral evil is involved, when what is at stake is the commandment, Do not kill!

Love cannot remain by itself - it has no meaning. Love has to be put into action and that action is service.

Charity isn't about pity, it is about love.
