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

The great military leaders of the past have gone, their empires have crumbled and burned to ashes. But the empire of Jesus, built solidly and majestically on the foundation of love, is still growing.

You can pray while you work. Work doesn't stop prayer and prayer doesn't stop work. It requires only that small raising of the mind to him: I love you God, I trust you, I believe in you, I need you now. Small things like that. They are wonderful prayers.

If we pray, we will believe; If we believe, we will love; If we love, we will serve.

Prayer makes your heart bigger, until it is capable of containing the gift of God himself. Prayer begets faith, faith begets love, and love begets service on behalf of the poor.

I wear black for those who never read or listen to the words that Jesus said, about the road to happiness, through love and charity.
