My heart is transformed by the smile of trust given by some people who are terribly fragile and weak.  They call forth new energies from me.  They seem to break down barriers and bring me a new freedom. It is the same with the smile of a child: even the hardest heart can’t resist.  Contact with people who are weak and who are crying out...is one of the most important nourishments in our lives.  When we let ourselves be really touched by the gift of their presence, they leave something precious in our hearts. As long as we remain at the level of “doing” things for people, we tend to stay behind our barriers of superiority.  We ought to welcome the gift of the poor with open hands.  Jesus says, “What you do for the least of my brothers, you do for me.”
More Than Words

-  Saying I love you 
 Is not the words I want to hear from you
 It's not that I want you
 Not to say, but if you only knew
 How easy it would be to show me how you feel
 More than words is all you have to do to make it real
 Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
 Cos I'd already know
 What would you do if my heart was torn in two
 More than words to show you feel
 That your love for me is real
 What would you say if I took those words away
 Then you couldn't make things new
 Just by saying I love you
 More than words
 Now I've tried to talk to you and make you understand
 All you have to do is close your eyes
 And just reach out your hands and touch me
 Hold me close don't ever let me go
 More than words is all I ever needed you to show
 Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
 Cos I'd already know
 What would you do if my heart was torn in two
 More than words to show you feel
 That your love for me is real
 What would you say if I took those words away
 Then you couldn't make things new
 Just by saying I love you
 More than words
