  *simple acts of love and prayer keep the light of christ burning.
  *holiness is not the luxury of a few. it is everyone's duty: yours and mine.
  *i will give saints to mother church.
  *holiness does not consist in doing extraordinary things. it consists in accepting, with a smile, *what jesus sends us. it consists in accepting and following the will of god.
  *prayer makes your heart bigger, until it is capable of containing the gift of god himself.
  *prayer is not asking. prayer is putting oneself in the hands of god, at his disposition, and listening to his voice in the depths of our hearts.
  *what is a christian? someone asked a hindu man. he responded: "a christian is someone who gives".
  *i ask you one thing: do not tire of giving, but do not give your leftovers. give until it hurts, until you feel the pain.
  *if we worry too much about ourselves, we won't have time for others.
  *today it is fashionable to talk about the poor. unfortunately it is not fashionable to talk with them.
  *the poor are christ himself.
  *when we touch the sick and needy, we touch the suffering body of christ.
  *if there are poor in the moon, we will go there too.
  *i pay no attention to numbers; what matters is the people. i rely on one. there is only one: jesus.
  *good works are links that form a chain of love.
  *where does love begin? in our own homes. when does it begin? when we pray together. the family that prays together, stays together.
  *peace begins with a smile.
  *only god knows our true needs.
