| Some of my favorite quotes: |
- 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.
|
- Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible
poverty
|
- If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong
to each other.
|
- I’m a little pencil in the hands of God. He does the thinking.
He does the writing. He does everything—and it’s really
hard—sometimes it’s a broken pencil. He has to sharpen it
a little more. But be a little instrument in His hands so that He can
use you anytime, anywhere. … We have only to say Yes to Him.
|
- If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one.
|
- Make us worthy, Lord, to serve those people throughout the world who
live and die in poverty and hunger. Give them through our hands, this
day, their daily bread, and by our understanding love, give them peace
and joy. I heard the call to give up all and follow Christ into the
slums to serve Him among the poorest of the poor. It was an order.
|
- I was to leave the convent and help the poor while living among them.
|
- Homeless not only for want of a room of bricks-but homeless because
of rejection.
|
- We cannot do great things on this earth. We can only do small things
with great love.
|
- God doesn't require us to succeed; he only requires that you try.
|
- It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live
as you wish.
|
- Like Jesus we belong to the world living not for ourselves but for
others. The joy of the Lord is our strength.
|
- There is only one God and He is God to all; therefore it is important
that everyone is seen as equal before God. I’ve always said we
should help a Hindu become a better Hindu, a Muslim become a better
Muslim, a Catholic become a better Catholic. We believe our work should
be our example to people. We have among us 475 souls - 30 families are
Catholics and the rest are all Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs—all different
religions. But they all come to our prayers
