More than ever I find myself in the hands of God. This (illness) is what I have wanted all my life from my youth. But now there is a difference; the initiative is entirely with God. It is indeed a profound spiritual experience to know and feel myself so totally in God’s hands.

Nowadays are the world doesn't need words, but lives which cannot be explained except through faith & love for Christ's poor

Nothing is more practical than finding God, that is, than falling in love in a quite absolute final way.

Only by being a man or woman for others does one become fully human.

What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination, will affect everything. It will decide what gets you out if bed in the mornings, what you do with your evenings, how you spend your weekends, what you read, who you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude. Fall in love, stay in love, and it will decide everything.
