It is Christmas every time you let God love others through you...yes, it is Christmas every time you smile at your brother and offer him your hand.

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.

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.

The fruit of love is service. The fruit of service is peace. And peace begins with a smile.

Each one of them is Jesus in disguise.
