In the faces of men and women I see God.

God does not need our good works, but our neighbor does.

and yet neither the bishops nor canons care how the poor people live or die, for whom nevertheless Christ has died, and who are not permitted to hear Him speak with them as the true Shepherd with His sheep.

Life's most urgent question is: What are you doing for others?

To love another person is to see the face of God. [Les Miserables]

I never add up. I only subtract from the total dying... . . . It is not the magnitude of our actions but the amount of love that is put into them that matters.

In this life we cannot do great things. We can only do small things with great love

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.

I never look at the masses as my responsibility; I look at the individual. I can only love one person at a time - just one, one, one. So you begin. I began - I picked up one person. Maybe if I didn't pick up that one person, I wouldn't have picked up forty-two thousand....The same thing goes for you, the same thing in your family, the same thing in your church, your community. Just begin - one, one, one.

Love has a hem to her garment that reaches the very dust. It sweeps the streets and lanes, and because it can, it must.

We can do no great things; only small things with great love.

To love another person is to see the face of God.
