I distrust a charity that costs nothing and does not hurt.

Jesus is the one who brings God to us and us to God.

We must not reduce the bosom of the universal church to a nest protecting our mediocrity.

It makes me sad when I find sisters who aren't joyful. They might smile, but with just a smile they could be flight attendants!

Every child who, rather than being born, is condemned unjustly to being aborted, bears the face of Jesus Christ, bears the face of the Lord, who even before he was born, and then just after birth, experienced the world’s rejection. And every elderly person…even if he is ill or at the end of his days, bears the face of Christ. They cannot be discarded, as the ‘culture of waste’ suggests!

I have great love for Saint Joseph, because he is a man of silence and strength. On my table I have an image of Saint Joseph sleeping. Even when he is asleep, he is taking care of the Church! Yes! We know that he can do that. So when I have a problem, a difficulty, I write a little note and I put it underneath Saint Joseph, so that he can dream about it! In other words I tell him: pray for this problem!

But you too, help one another: help one another always. One another. In this way, by helping one another, we will do some good.
