I firmly believe that our salvation depends on the poor.

The key is for you to discover what you love to do, what you were created to do, and then do it for the people around you with love. That is the abundant life, dear girl, no matter where in the world you live.

Now she was doing what she did best—serving those who needed her most. She was remarkable that way, Luc thought. It was a gift she had, and he loved to see her use it. He stood in the doorway for a moment, watching her comfort each guest and get them settled in the living room or the dining room.

When you serve others, you are serving God. When you do it for them, you're doing it for Him. Jesus said, "If you give a cup of cold water to someone in need, you will surely be rewarded." Every time you serve, God sees it. Every time you help someone else. Every time you sacrifice--you go out of your way to pick up a friend, you get up early to sing in the choir, you stay late to help a coworker--God is keeping the record.

Volunteers are love in motion!

Public service is about serving all the people, including the ones who are not like you.

The first question which the priest and the Levite asked was: 'If I stop to help this man, what will happen to me?' But... the good Samaritan reversed the question: 'If I do not stop to help this man, what will happen to him?'

I can't do it for love of God, like Tom Tallis, or for heaven's sake, as Mr. Frost said. But because I love people I have to act according to it—to the fact that I love them.

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

Great acts are made up of small deeds.

If we do not lay out ourselves in the service of mankind whom should we serve?

Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.
