Find your own Calcutta. Find the sick, the suffering and the lonely right there where you are.

People have forgotten what the human touch is, what it is to smile, for somebody to smile at them, somebody to recognize them, somebody to wish them well. The terrible thing is to be unwanted.

We pick up people dying full of worms from the street. We have picked up more than 40,000 of them. If I lift up such a person, clean him, love him and serve him, is it conversion? He has been there like an animal in the street but I am giving him love and he dies peacefully. That peace comes from his heart. That's between him and God.

In the silence of the heart God speaks. If you face God in prayer and silence, God will speak to you. Then you will know that you are nothing. It is only when you realize your nothingness, your emptiness, that God can fill you with Himself. Souls of prayer are souls of great silence.

By praying ... If you want to pray better, you must pray more.

O God, how easily I make them happy! Give me strength to be always the light of their lives and so lead them to You!

You who have received so much love, share it with others. Love others the way that God has loved you, with tenderness.
