More quotes by Mother Teresa
The greatest destroyer of peace is abortion because if a mother can kill her own child, what is left for me to kill you and you to kill me? There is nothing between.
Mother Teresa
Give a glass of water, you give it to me. Receive a little child, you receive me.
Mother Teresa
Abortion is murder in the womb...A child is a gift of God. If you do not want him, give him to me.
Mother Teresa
Listen in silence because if your heart is full of other things you cannot hear the voice of God
Mother Teresa
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you Be honest and frank anyway.
Mother Teresa
Love is not patronizing and charity isn't about pity, it is about love. Charity and love are the same -- with charity you give love, so don't just give money but reach out your hand instead.
Mother Teresa
Faith keeps the person who keeps the faith.
Mother Teresa
By abortion, the mother does not learn to love, but kills even her own child to solve her problems.
Mother Teresa
And if we can accept that a mother can kill her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another?
Mother Teresa
Sometimes people can hunger for more than bread. It is possible that our children, our husband, our wife, do not hunger for bread, do not need clothes, do not lack a house. But are we equally sure that none of them feels alone, abandonded, neglected, needing some affection? That, too, is poverty.
Mother Teresa
Even when the urgent is good, the good can keep you from your best, keep you from your unique contribution, if you let it.
Mother Teresa
You have to be holy in your position as you are, and I have to be holy in the position that God has put me. So it is nothing extraordinary to be holy. Holiness is not the luxury of the few. Holiness is a simple duty for you and for me. We have been created for that.
Mother Teresa
I have told everybody that what we are doing is for the love of God and works of love are always to accept and respect others.
Mother Teresa
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?
Mother Teresa
Even if I wanted, I cannot do anything. When they die, we always send for their co-religionists. Muslims take the Muslim's body to bury it, Hindus come and take away the dead to be cremated and Christians come and bury their dead.
Mother Teresa
If I look at the mass I will never act.
Mother Teresa
Faith is more important to me than life itself because without it there would be no fullness of life.
Mother Teresa
I realized that I had the call to take care of the sick and the dying, the hungry, the naked, the homeless - to be God's Love in action to the poorest of the poor. That was the beginning of the Missionaries of Charity.
Mother Teresa
Perpetual Adoration, Eucharistic Adoration offers to our people the opportunity to join those in religious life to pray for the salvation of the world, souls everywhere and peace on earth. We cannot underestimate the power of prayer and the difference it will make in our world
Mother Teresa
Riches, both material and spiritual, can choke you if you do not use them fairly. For not even God can put anything in a heart that is already full.
Mother Teresa
