Never let anything so fill you with sorrow as to make you forget the joy of Christ risen.
Joy is the net of love by which we can capture souls. God loves the person who gives with joy. Whoever gives with joy gives more. The best way to show our gratitude to God and to people is to accept with joy.
Joy is strength.
Joy must be one of the pivots of our life. It is the token of a generous personality. Sometimes it is also a mantle that clothes a life of sacrifice and self-giving. A person who has this gift often reaches high summits. He or she is like sun in a community.
If you are joyful, do not worry about lukewarmness. Joy will shine in your eyes and in your look, in your conversation and in your countenance. You will not be able to hide it because joy overflows.
Love is not patronizing and charity isn't about pity, it is about love. Charity and love are the same -- with charity you give love, so don't just give money but reach out your hand instead.
If I look at the mass I will never act.
The way you help heal the world is you start with your own family.
Let us make one point, that we meet each other with a smile, when it is difficult to smile. Smile at each other, make time for each other in your family.
Let us more and more insist on raising funds of love, of kindness, of understanding, of peace.
In the home begins the disruption of the peace of the world.
We do not need guns and bombs to bring peace, we need love and compassion.
Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.
I am not sure exactly what heaven will be like, but I know that when we die and it comes time for God to judge us, he will not ask, 'How many good things have you done in your life?' rather he will ask, 'How much love did you put into what you did?

God hasn't called us to be successful, just faithful.
Work without love is slavery.
