What will we answer to Him about that child, that old father and mother, because they are His creation, they are children of God.

Life's a song, sing it

In the final analysis it is between you and God, it was never between you and them anyway.

Loneliness and the feeling that you're no use to anyone - the worst kind of poverty.

If you pray more you will pray better

At the hour of death when we all come face to face with God we are going to be judged on love: how much we have loved, not how much we have done but how much love we have put in our action.

You should never lose heart. God is merciful and kind- he has endowed you with the best gift- smile, which can make millions happy.

Following Jesus is simple, but not easy. Love until it hurts, and then love more.

I know I am touching the living body of Christ in the broken bodies of the hungry and the suffering.

In our home (for the dying at Kali Ghat) in Calcutta, there is great peace, unity and love. Many Hindu families bring food, clothing nonstop to our home for the dying. This is an act of love. I didn't ask them. They have only heard about what I am doing and they all come.

Everything starts with prayer. Love to pray-feel the need to pray often during the day and take the trouble to pray. If you want to pray better, you must pray more. The more you pray, the easier it becomes. Perfect prayer does not consist of many words but in the fervor of the desire which raises the heart to Jesus.

God is everywhere and in everything and without Him we cannot exist.

Even if I wanted, I cannot do anything. When they die, we always send for their co-religionists. Muslims take the Muslim's body to bury it, Hindus come and take away the dead to be cremated and Christians come and bury their dead.

I don't think there is anyone who needs God's help as much as I do. Sometimes I feel so helpless and weak. I think that is why God uses me. Because I cannot depend on my own strength, I rely on Him twenty-four hours a day.

The dying, the cripple, the mental, the unwanted, the unloved-- they are Jesus in disguise.

We need prayer to understand God's love for us. If we really mean to pray and want to pray we must be ready to do it now. These are only the first steps towards prayer but if we never make the first step with determination, we will not reach the last one: the presence of God.

At the heart of silence is prayer. At the heart of prayer is faith. At the heart of faith is life. At the heart of life is service.

I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot; together we can do great things.

Every day I see Jesus Christ in all his distressing disguises.

Joy is a sign of generosity. When you are full of joy, you move faster and you want to go about doing good to everyone.

The fruit of Silence is Prayer

To be able to proclaim the Good News to the poor we must know what is poverty.

Get to know the poor in your country. Love them. Serve them.
