Love and sacrifice are closely linked, like the sun and the light. We cannot love without suffering and we cannot suffer without love.
Be living witnesses of the greatness and beauty of Christianity.
Our body is a cenacle, a monstrance: through its crystal the world should see God.
The stillness of prayer is the most essential condition for fruitful action. Before all else, the disciple kneels down.
Everyone works in the service of man. We doctors work directly on man himself... The great mystery of man is Jesus: 'He who visits a sick person, helps me,' Jesus said... Just as the priest can touch Jesus, so do we touch Jesus in the bodies of our patients... We have opportunities to do good that the priest doesn't have. Our mission is not finished when medicines are no longer of use. We must bring the soul to God; our word has some authority... Catholic doctors are so necessary!
