Born on August 27, she was an Albanian Roman

We can do no great things, only small things with great
love.
But even God cannot do anything with someone already full.
You have to be completely empty to let Him do His will. That's the most
beautiful part of God - Being Almighty and yet not forcing Himself on anyone.
I am convinced that it is He and not I. That it is His
and not my work. Without Him I could do nothing.
I am like a little pencil in his hand. That is all. He
does the thinking. He does the writing. The pencil has nothing to do with
it. The pencil has only to be allowed to be used.
What we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the
ocean would be less because of that missing drop.
God doesn't require us to succeed; He only requires that
you try.
Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person.
- The fruit of SILENCE is Prayer
- The fruit of PRAYER is Faith
- The fruit of FAITH is Love
- The fruit of LOVE is Service
- The fruit of SERVICE is Peace
- GOD bless you.
