I believe that miracles happen every day. Every person is a miracle. Every moment is a miracle. If only we can open our eyes, we'll see God's love everywhere.

There was this conflict within me because so many people would come up to me to ask for prayers for all sorts of things, and 50% would be about money like, 'How can I pay for the tuition fee of my kids?' And I could only pray for them. I had no advice to give them because I didn't know anything about money.
Faith Words aren't just mere positive affirmations; they open your life up to the supernatural power of God.
I believe that when we sing, we worship twice. We express our thoughts into words, and our words into song.
Priests focus on the spiritual. As a lay person I could show people how to be good Catholics in the world.
I receive the flak via nasty blog posts, letters, usually coming from very religious people who cannot reconcile how I could share spiritual message and at the same time teach about money.
Teach the kids. They need to learn how to handle, grow and multiply money. It's basic and should be taught at an early stage.
Money can actually make you holy.
I came to know God when I was 12, started working in the ministry when I was 13, working in the slum area, living among the poor, loving it, and having this belief that to love the poor I needed to be poor.
Open yourself to extreme, excessive, extravagant grace.
Grace happens every day.
As much as I loved the model of St. Francis, I realized that I couldn't afford to be poor, because unlike St. Francis, I'm not celibate. I was enlightened that God's call to me was not poverty but generosity and simplicity. And I had to go back to the lesson I learned from my parents: that is, simplicity.
At first, the only thing that I learned was to save. Then I learned about mutual fund, then later on direct stock investments. I also went into small businesses and even real estate.
The blessing that I got from my parents, even if they didn't really teach me about money, was their simple lifestyle.
No one comes face to face with God and remains unchanged.
Words have power. Words created this universe... Everything started with the Word. The Bible says, 'In the beginning was the word.' In the same way, your words have creative power.
Our Feast gatherings, which has spread all over the world, is attended by young people - and they love to sing worship songs.
My parents were the traditional Filipino parents who didn't talk about money around the dinner table.
We need to have a goal of becoming debt-free as soon as possible.
I do research, I read books. I write down everything that I intend to say and this may take several hours. Then when I am out there preaching, I do not carry notes.
Use your wealth to serve God.
Fathers are the first image of who God is!
We want to reach out to the young people. We want the hearts of the young people to turn to God.
We want to change lives.
We are tapping those people who are unchurched, people who feel they are not religious, those who are spiritual but are not at home with God, those who feel they are not worthy.
I have nothing against employment but it seems that our school system is too focused on training good employees but not good entrepreneurs. There should be a balance. We should learn from the entrepreneurial mindset of the Chinese.
Let the good people teach people how to be rich.
I believe that miracles happen every day.
Every person is a miracle. Every moment is a miracle.
If only we can open our eyes, we'll see God's love everywhere.
Don't use your words to describe your reality. Use your words to create your desired reality.
