We must learn to cast off our anxieties because we have so many of them. The world destroys spiritual life by generating constant anxiety.

If you can't do great things, Mother Teresa used to say, do little things with great love. If you can't do them with great love, do them with a little love. If you can't do them with a little love, do them anyway. Love grows when people serve.

Our beliefs are not just estimates of probabilities. They are also the instruments that guide our actions.

Never try to have more faith - just get to know God better. And because God is faithful, the better you know Him, the more you'll trust Him.
