A single sunbeam is enough to drive away many shadows.
From Francis of Assisi
Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
Lord, grant that I might not so much seek to be loved as to love.
Where there is charity and wisdom, there is neither fear nor ignorance.
Grant me the treasure of sublime poverty: permit the distinctive sign of our order to be that it does not possess anything of its own beneath the sun, for the glory of your name, and that it have no other patrimony than begging.
For it is in giving that we receive.
I am the herald of the Great King.
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.
No one is to be called an enemy, all are your benefactors, and no one does you harm. You have no enemy except yourselves.
