I try to give to the poor people for love what the rich could get for money. No. I wouldn't touch a leper for a thousand pounds; yet I willingly cure him for the love of God.

"Jesus has a very special love for you. 'As for me, the silence and emptiness is so great that I look and do not see, listen and do not hear. The tongue moves but does not speak.'"

"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?"
