Even the rich are hungry for love, for being cared for, for being wanted, for having someone to call their own.

The miracle is not that we do this work, but that we are happy to do it.

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.

I try to give to the poor people for love what the rich could get for money. No, i wouldn't touch a leper for a thousand pounds; yet i willingly cure him for the love of god.

The biggest disease today is not leprosy or tuberculosis, but rather the feeling of being unwanted.

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.

The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.

love is a fruit in season at all times, and within reach of every hand.

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.

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.

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.

I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.

Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.
