“All the things in this world are gifts of God, created for us, to be the means by which we can come to know him better, love him more surely, and serve him more faithfully.”

Whatever you are doing, that which makes you feel the most alive…that is where God is.

The principal end both of my father and of myself in the conquest of India has been the propagation of the holy Catholic faith.

So with that will prompt and prepared to serve all those whom I perceive to be servants of my Lord, I will speak of three things with simplicity and love as if I were speaking to my own soul.

True, I am in love with suffering, but I do not know if I deserve the honor.

Love ought to show itself in deeds more than in words.

Receive, Lord, all my liberty, my memory, my understanding and my whole will.

For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who disbelieve, no amount of proof is sufficient.

It is not hard to obey when we love the one whom we obey.

One must wage war against his predominant passion and not retreat until, with God’s help, he has been victorious.

God inclines to shower His graces upon us, but our perverted will is a barrier to His generosity.

Laugh and grow strong.

If anyone asks you for something that you believe would be injurious to him, refuse, but in such a manner as not to lose his good-will.

For those who love, nothing is too difficult, especially when it is done for the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.

We must put aside all judgment of our own, and keep the mind ever ready and prompt to obey in all things the true Spouse of Christ our Lord, our holy Mother, the hierarchical Church.

Do not put faith in constant happiness, and fear most when all smiles upon you.

We ought even to hold as a fixed principle that what I see white I believe to be black, if the superior authorities define it to be so.

Freedom is the continuous action we all must take, and each generation must do its part to create an even more fair, more just society.

Some people are old at 18 and some are young at 90. Time is a concept that humans created.

If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create.

Black revolutionaries do not drop from the moon. We are created by our conditions. Shaped by our oppression.

Photography is my one recreation and I think it should be done well.

Create your own life. Listen to that part of your inner voice that’s telling you – you can.

There is a good principle which created order, light, and man, and an evil principle which created chaos, darkness, and woman.

What is discipline? Discipline means creating an order within you. As you are, you are a chaos.
