Spiritual worldliness kills! It kills the soul! It kills the Church!

When you meet the needy your heart grows bigger

I had the habit of not accepting prizes or honors, but always, not out of humility, but because I don't like them.

Resolve not to be overcome by evil, but to combat evil with good.

Faith is not a light which scatters all our darkness, but a lamp which guides our steps in the night and suffices for the journey. To those who suffer, God does not provide arguments which explain everything; rather, his response is that of an accompanying presence, a history of goodness which touches every story of suffering and opens up a ray of light.

Let us not close our hearts, let us not lose confidence, let us never give up.

I feel so low that instead of picking myself up I have to cut others down.
