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.

The person who gives with a smile is the best giver because God loves a cheerful giver.

Brothers, Fathers and Sisters - all of us in the Missionaries of Charity are doing the same. All of us have been created by God to love and to be loved. We are involved in this work. When you do that, there is joy, unity and love.

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

Each one of them is Jesus in disguise.

Give your hands to serve and your hearts to love.
