If you are discouraged it is a sign of pride, because it shows you trust in your own powers.

How can I act in an impersonal manner? When a man dies in the street for want of food, how can I ignore him? When I find a starving or naked man in the street, I cannot walk past him. I think no human being can do that.

Peace beings with a smile

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

The poor are our brothers and sisters ... people in the world who need love, who need care, who have to be wanted.

Nobody can force you, not even the holy prophets.
