The greatest destroyer of peace is abortion because if a mother can kill her own child, what is left for me to kill you and you to kill me? There is nothing between.
The miracle is not that we do this work, but that we are happy to do it.
Let us touch the dying, the poor, the lonely and the unwanted according to the graces we have received and let us not be ashamed or slow to do the humble work.
Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty.
Let us not be satisfied with just giving money. Money is not enough, money can be got, but they need your hearts to love them. So, spread your love everywhere you go.
Words which do not give the light of Christ increase the darkness.
We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature – trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence… We need silence to be able to touch souls.
Many people mistake our work for our vocation. Our vocation is the love of Jesus.
Peace begins with a smile.
Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do… but how much love we put in that action.
Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.
Our life of poverty is as necessary as the work itself. Only in heaven will we see how much we owe to the poor for helping us to love God better because of them.
Be the living expression of God’s kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile.
Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.
We are misunderstood, we are misrepresented, we are misreported. We are not nurses, we are not doctors, we are not teachers, we are not social workers. We are religious, we are religious, we are religious
Even the rich are hungry for love, for being cared for, for being wanted, for having someone to call their own.
We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.
One of the greatest diseases is to be nobody to anybody.
The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.
Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat.
