Lord, make me an instrument of your peace; where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy.

For it is in giving that we receive.

Above all the grace and the gifts that Christ gives to his beloved is that of overcoming self.

If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men.

While you are proclaiming peace with your lips, be careful to have it even more fully in your heart.

Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.

What we are looking for is what is looking.
