“Do not fear to tell Jesus that you love Him even without feeling it. That is the way to force Jesus to help you, to carry you like a little child too feeble to walk.”

Prayer for me is an updward leap of the heart

The greatest honor God can do a soul is not give it much; but to ask much of it.

Let us go forward in peace, our eyes upon heaven, the only one goal of our labors.

The loveliest materpiece of the heart of God is the love of a Mother.

The science of loving, yes, that’s the only kind of science I want I’d barter away everything I possess to win it.

If I did not simply live from one moment to another, it would be impossible for me to be patient, but I only look at the present, I forget the past, and I take good care not to forestall the future.

Discouragement itself is a form of pride.

It is my weakness that gives me all my strength.

Never stop wanting for your magic.

Holiness is a disposition of the heart that makes us humble and little in the arms of God, aware of our weakness, and confident – in the most audacious way – in His Fatherly goodness.

Remember that nothing is small in the eyes of God. Do all that you do with love.

Love is the Cross, and the Cross is Love.

Suffering is the very best gift He has to give us. He gives it only to His chosen friends.

(Her last words) Oh! I love Him! My God, I love You!

My whole strength lies in prayer and sacrifice, these are my invincible arms; they can move hearts far better than words, I know it by experience.

Nothing’s done well when it’s done out of self-interest.

The greatest invention in the world is the mind of a child.

Children have their rights denied every single day. We want to build a world where every child is in school and learning, safe from harm and able to fulfill their potential, and we know you do too. It’s time to put children back on the agenda.

The education of all children, from the moment that they can get along without a mother’s care, shall be in state institutions.

If a mother can kill her own child – what is left for me to kill you and you to kill me – there is nothing between.

History will judge us by the difference we make in the everyday lives of children.

Adults are just obsolete children and the hell with them.

My dream is that all the world’s children have the right to live in a safe, comfortable environment in which their health and education are guaranteed.

A child’s course in life should be determined not by the zip code she’s born in, but by the strength of her work ethic and the scope of her dreams.
