Be merciful, just as also your Father is merciful. Stop judging and you will not be judged. Stop condemning and you will not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgiven.
God makes use of the humblest instruments for the extraordinary operation of his grace.

If God's love is fire,
then zeal is its flame;
If God's love is the sun,
zeal is its ray.
Zeal is the purest element in loving God.

Always, the hand of God is outstretched for those who wish to clasp it.

A Sister will go and visit the poor ten times a day, and ten times a day she will find God there.

We must strive to soften our hearts and make them sensitive to the sufferings and worries of our neighbor, and beg God to grant us a genuine spirit of mercy which is the spirit characteristic of God.
