People are hungry for God. What [a] terrible meeting [it] would be with our neighbour if we give them only ourselves.

I begin each day with holy Mass, receiving Jesus hidden under the appearance of a simple piece of bread. Then I go out into the streets and I find the same Jesus hidden in the dying destitute, the AIDS patients, the lepers, the abandoned children, the hungry, and the homeless. It's the same Jesus.

The work we do is only our love for Jesus in action...If we pray the work...if we do it to Jesus, if we do it for Jesus, if we do it with Jesus...that's what makes us content.

People who really want help may attack you if you help them. Help them anyway.

We have not come into the world to be numbered; we have been created for a purpose; for great things: to love and be loved.

Suffering is nothing by itself. But suffering shared with the passion of Christ is a wonderful gift, the most beautiful gift, a token of love.

We should not serve the poor like they were Jesus. We should serve the poor because they are Jesus.
