It is poverty to decide that a child must die so that you
may live as you wish.
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.
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.
When a poor person dies of hunger, it has not happened
because God did not take care of him or her. It has happened because neither
you nor I wanted to give that person what he or she needed.
Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do... but
how much love we put in that action.
It is not the magnitude of our actions but the amount of
love that is put into them that matters.
The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than
the hunger for bread.
If you judge people, you have no time to love them.
Two Saints reunite in heaven. |
I have found the paradox, that if you love until it
hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.
Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love,
a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.
It is easy to love the people far away. It is not always
easy to love those close to us. It is easier to give a cup of rice to relieve
hunger than to relieve the loneliness and pain of someone unloved in our own
home. Bring love into your home for this is where our love for each other must
start.
Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to
you without leaving happier.
