The poverty in the West is a different kind of poverty—it is not only a poverty of loneliness but also of spirituality. There’s a hunger for love, as there is a hunger for God.

I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot; together we can do great things.

Whatever you do to the least of my brethren, you do it to me.

By praying ... If you want to pray better, you must pray more.

The first requirement for prayer is silence. People of prayer are people of silence.

Hungry not only for bread - but hungry for love. Naked not only for clothing - but naked of human dignity and respect. Homeless not only for want of a home of bricks - but homeless because of rejection.

Silence of the heart is necessary so you can hear God everywhere - in the closing of the door, in the person who needs you, in the birds that sing, in the flowers, in the animals.
