Prayer makes your heart bigger, until it is capable of containing the gift of God himself. Prayer begets faith, faith begets love, and love begets service on behalf of the poor.

I never looked at the masses as my responsibility. I can only love one person at a time. So I began. I picked up one person. Maybe if I didn't pick up that one person, I wouldn't have picked up forty-two thousand.

Be faithful in little things, for in them your strength lies. To the good God nothing is little, because He is so great and we are so small.

Love is proved by deeds; the more they cost us, the greater the proof of our love.

Let us be very sincere in our dealings with each other, and have the courage to accept each other as we are. Do not be surprised or become preoccupied at each other's failures - rather, see and find in each other the good, for each one of us is created in the image of God.

There are only two ways: either we love-and love in action is service - or we put hatred into action and destroy.

Be humble like Mary so that you can be holy like Jesus
