Don't let your life be barren. Be useful. Make yourself felt. Shine forth with the torch of your faith and your love.

He who knows himself to be a son of God knows no fear.
The virtue of poverty consists in living with our heart in God, and therefore detached from material things.
When the soul is happy it spreads its happiness and is an encouragement to others.
