December 10

Some people came to Calcutta, and before leaving, they begged me: "Tell us something that will help us to live our lives better. And I said: Smile at each other; smile at your wife, smile at your husband, smile at your children, smile at each other - it doesn't matter who it is and that will help you to grow in greater love for each other. And one of them asked me: "Are you married?" I said: Yes, and sometimes I find it very difficult to smile at my spouse, Jesus, because he can be very demanding. This is really something true. And that is where love comes in - when it is demanding, and yet we can give it with joy.
