For me, prayer is a surge of the heart; it is a simple look turned toward heaven, it is a cry of recognition and of love, embracing both trial and joy.

Let us not be justices of the peace, but angels of peace.

You cannot be half a saint; you must be a whole saint or no saint at all.

The value of life does not depend upon the place we occupy. It depends upon the way we occupy that place.

It is my weakness that gives me all my strength.

I realized that to become a saint one must suffer a great deal, always seek what is best, and forget oneself.

Love needs to be proved by action.
