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.Collection: Work

Many people mistake our work for our vocation. Our vocation is the love of Jesus.Collection: Work
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.Collection: Nature
Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do... but how much love we put in that action.Collection: Home
The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.Collection: Love
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.Collection: Work
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.Collection: Money
If you want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.Collection: Relationship
Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.Collection: Love
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.Collection: Peace
Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty.
We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty.
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.
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.
Each one of them is Jesus in disguise.
The biggest disease today is not leprosy or tuberculosis, but rather the feeling of being unwanted.
Words which do not give the light of Christ increase the darkness.
Even the rich are hungry for love, for being cared for, for being wanted, for having someone to call their own.
There must be a reason why some people can afford to live well. They must have worked for it. I only feel angry when I see waste. When I see people throwing away things that we could use.
I want you to be concerned about your next door neighbor. Do you know your next door neighbor?
