TRANSCRIPT

  • Slide 1
  • Slide 2
  • Abortion is murder in the womb...A child is a gift of God. If you do not want him, give him to me.
  • Slide 3
  • At the end of life we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made, how many great things we have done. We will be judged by 'I was hungry and you gave me to eat, I was naked and you clothed me, I was homeless and you took me in.' Hungry not only for bread - but hungry for love. Naked not only for clothing - but naked for human dignity and respect. Homeless not only for want of a room of bricks - but homeless because of rejection.
  • Slide 4
  • Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.
  • Slide 5
  • Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat... We must find each other.
  • Slide 6
  • By blood and origin I am Albanian. My citizenship is Indian. I am a Catholic nun. As to my calling, I belong to the whole world. As to my heart, I belong entirely to the heart of Jesus.
  • Slide 7
  • God will find another person, more humble, more devoted, more obedient to him, and the society will go on.
  • Slide 8
  • Humility is the mother of all virtues; purity, charity and obedience. It is in being humble that our love becomes real, devoted and ardent. If you are humble nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace, because you know what you are. If you are blamed you will not be discouraged. If they call you a saint you will not put yourself on a pedestal.
  • Slide 9
  • I choose the poverty of our poor people. But I am grateful to receive (the Nobel) in the name of the hungry, the naked, the homeless, of the crippled, of the blind, of the lepers, of all those people who feel unwanted, unloved, uncared-for throughout society, people that have become a burden to the society and are shunned by everyone.
  • Slide 10
  • I have never been in a war before, but I have seen famine and death. I was asking (myself), 'What do they feel when they do this?' I don't understand it. They are all children of God. Why do they do it? I don't understand.
  • Slide 11
  • I know God won't give me anything I can't handle; I just wish He didn't trust me so much.
  • Slide 12
  • I prefer you to make mistakes in kindness than work miracles in unkindness.
  • Slide 13
  • I see God in every human being. When I wash the leper's wounds, I feel I am nursing the Lord himself. Is it not a beautiful experience?
  • Slide 14
  • If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one.
  • Slide 15
  • If you judge people, you have no time to love them.
  • Slide 16
  • Joy is a net by which you catch souls.
  • Slide 17
  • Kind words are short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.
  • Slide 18
  • Life is an opportunity, benefit from it. Life is beauty, admire it. Life is bliss, taste it. Life is a dream, realize it. Life is a challenge, meet it. Life is a duty, complete it. Life is a game, play it. Life is a promise, fulfill it. Life is sorrow, overcome it. Life is a song, sing it. Life is a struggle, accept it. Life is a tragedy, confront it. Life is an adventure, dare it. Life is luck, make it. Life is too precious, do not destroy it. Life is life, fight for it.
  • Slide 19
  • Many people mistake our work for our vocation. Our vocation is the love of Jesus.
  • Slide 20
  • Our life of poverty is as necessary as the work itself. Only in heaven will we see how much we owe to the poor for helping us to love God better because of them.
  • Slide 21
  • Please choose the way of peace.... In the short term there may be winners and losers in this war that we all dread. But that never can, nor never will justify the suffering, pain and loss of life your weapons will cause.
  • Slide 22
  • Spread love everywhere you go: first of all in your own house. Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next door neighbor... Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting.
  • Slide 23
  • The biggest disease today is not leprosy or tuberculosis, but rather the feeling of being unwanted.
  • Slide 24
  • The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.
