Love begins by taking care of the closest ones - the ones at home.

Give, but give until it hurts.

I always begin my prayer in silence, for it is in the silence of the heart that God speaks. God is the friend of silence-we need to listen to God because it's not what we say but what He says to us and through us that matters.

Let me thus praise You in the way You love best: by shining on those around me. Let me preach You without preaching, not by words, but by my example, by the catching force, the sympathetic influence of what I do, the evident fullness of the love my heart bears to You. Amen.

If you try, you will find it impossible to do one great thing. You can only do many small things with great love.

The openness of our hearts and minds can be measured by how wide we draw the circle of what we call family.

We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.
