The poor are great! The poor are wonderful! The poor are very generous! They give us much more than what we give them.

People are hungry for something more beautiful, for something greater than people round about can give. There is a great hunger for God in the world today. Everywhere there is much suffering, but there is also great hunger for God and love for each other.

The poverty of the West is far more difficult to solve than the poverty of India.

If you judge people, you have no time to love them.

The time we spend in having our daily audience with God is the most precious part of the whole day.

Life is a challenge, we must take it.

If sometimes our poor people have had to die of starvation, it is not that God didn't care for them, but because you and I didn't give, were not an instrument of love in the hands of God, to give them that bread, to give them that clothing; because we did not recognize him, when once more Christ came in distressing disguise, in the hungry man, in the lonely man, in the homeless child, and seeking for shelter.
