You must have an iron will if you would cross the ocean. You must be strong enough to pierce mountains
Nature wants us to react, to return blow for blow, cheating for cheating, lie for lie, to hit back with all our might, then it requires a super divine power not hit back, to keep control, to be unattached
Bold are my words and let me repeat that it is the greatest privilege in our lives that we are allowed to serve the Lord in all these shapes
The poor and the miserable are for our salvation, so that we may serve the Lord, coming in the shape of the distressed, coming in the shape of the lunatic, the leper, the sinner.
I should see God in the poor and it is for my salvation that I go and worship them.
Be grateful to the man you help, think of him as God. Is it not a great privilege to be allowed to worship God by helping our fellowmen?
Be thankful that you are allowed to exercise your power of benevolence and mercy in the world and thus, become pure and perfect.
You worship. When you give a morsel of food to a dog, you worship the dog as God. He is all and is in all.
Cut out the word help from your mind. You cannot help; it is blasphemy!
