When you look at the Sacred Host you understand how much Jesus loves you now.

... do not spare me in anything -- let there be less and less of me in everything.

You must give what will cost you something. This, then, is not just giving what you can live without but what you can't live without or don't want to live without, something you really like. Then your gift becomes a sacrifice, which will have value before God. Any sacrifice is useful if it is done out of love. This giving until it hurts - this sacrifice - is what I call love in action.

Prayer is nothing but that complete surrender, complete oneness with Christ. And this is what makes us contemplative in the heart of the world; for we are twenty-four hours then in His presence: in the hungry, in the naked, in the homeless, in the unwanted, unloved, uncared for. For Jesus said, Whatever you do to the least of my brethren, you do it to me.

If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.

Anybody who helps the poor is delighted.

In the home begins the disruption of the peace of the world.
