Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do, but how much love we put in the action that we do.

Image
If you ever feel distressed during your day - call upon our Lady - just say this simple prayer: 'Mary, Mother of Jesus, please be a mother to me now.' I must admit - this prayer has never failed me.
Mother Teresa
Image
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
Image
If our bones were not sending whispers of doubt to our hearts, there would be no need for prayer at all.
Mother Teresa
Image
For me, life is the most beautiful gift of God to mankind, therefore people and nations who destroy life by abortion and euthanasia are the poorest. I do not say legal or illegal, but I think that no human hand should be raised to kill life, since life is God's life in us, even in an unborn child.
Mother Teresa
Image
Every human being in that case resembles Christ in his loneliness and that is the hardest part, that's real hunger.
Mother Teresa
Image
Holiness consists in doing God’s will joyfully. Faithfulness makes saints. The spiritual life is a union with Jesus: the divine and the human giving themselves to each other. The only thing Jesus asks of us is to give ourselves to him, in total poverty and total self-forgetfulness.
Mother Teresa
Image
In ... silence we find a new energy and a real unity. God's energy becomes our, allowing us to perform things well.
Mother Teresa
Image
We serve life, not because it is broken, but because it is holy.
Mother Teresa
Image
The first step to becoming is to will it.
Mother Teresa
Image
Am I ever angry or frustrated? I only feel angry sometimes when I see waste, when things that we waste are what people need, things that would save them from dying. Frustrated? No, never.
Mother Teresa
Image
If I can give you any advice, I beg you to get closer to the Eucharist and to Jesus... We must pray to Jesus to give us that tenderness of the Eucharist.
Mother Teresa
Image
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Mother Teresa
Image
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
Image
My prayer for you is that you may grow in the likeness of Christ, being real carriers of God's love and that you really bring his presence, first, into your own family, then, to the next door neighbor, the street you we live in, the town we live in, the country we live, then only, in the whole world, that living example of God's presence.
Mother Teresa
Image
The problem with the world is that we draw the circle of our family too small.
Mother Teresa
Image
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
Image
I always begin my prayer in silence, for it is in the silence of the heart that God speaks. God is the friend of silence-we need to listen to God because it's not what we say but what He says to us and through us that matters.
Mother Teresa
Image
Maybe if I didn't pick up that one person, I wouldn't have picked up forty-two thousand.
Mother Teresa
Image
The fruit of love is service, which is compassion in action.
Mother Teresa
Image
I begin each day with holy Mass, receiving Jesus hidden under the appearance of a simple piece of bread. Then I go out into the streets and I find the same Jesus hidden in the dying destitute, the AIDS patients, the lepers, the abandoned children, the hungry, and the homeless. It's the same Jesus.
