Do you want to do something beautiful for God? There is a person who needs you. This is your chance.

Jesus, I love you. Jesus, I love you.

If we can not love the person whom we see, how can we love God whom we can not see?

Nothing makes you happier than when you really reach out in mercy to someone who is badly hurt.

The first time I received an award, I was very surprised. I did not know whether to accept it or not. But I came to the conclusion that I should accept awards in the name of the poorest poor, as a form of homage to them. I think that basically, when awards are given to me, the existence of the poor in the world is being recognized.

Love to be real, it must cost—it must hurt—it must empty us of self.

I always say "if you are afraid of them (the unborn), give them to me. Please, don't kill them."
