The world tells us to seek success, power and money; God tells us to seek humility, service and love.
Religious life ought to promote growth in the Church by way of attraction. The Church must be attractive. Wake up the world! Be witnesses of a different way of doing things, of acting, of living! It is possible to live differently in this world.
Having faith does not mean having no difficulties, but having the strength to face them, knowing we are not alone.
Take care of brothers and sisters who are weaker. . . the elderly, the sick, the hungry, the homeless and strangers, because we will be judged on this.
You pray for the hungry. Then you feed them. That's how prayer works.
A vow is a purely religious act which cannot be taken in a fit of passion. It can be taken only with a mind purified and composed and with God as witness.
