Every adult was once a child free from prejudice.
Mother Teresa

The more we can give in our silent prayer, the more we can give in our active life.
Mother Teresa
Image
As for me, the silence and the emptiness is so great, that I look and do not see, — Listen and do not hear — the tongue moves but does not speak … I want you to pray for me — that I let Him have free hand.
Mother Teresa
Image
Be not afraid. God loves you & wants us to love one another as He loves us. As miserable, weak and sinful as we are, He loves us with an infinitely faithful love.
Mother Teresa
Image
even God could do nothing for someone already full. You have to be completely empty to let Him in to do what He will.

Mother Teresa
Image
Self knowledge puts us on our knees, and it is very necessary for love. For knowledge of God gives love, and knowledge of self gives humility
Mother Teresa
Image
We are called upon not to be successful, but to be faithful.
Mother Teresa
Image
We are taught from the very first moment to discover Christ under the distressing disguixe of the poor, the sick, the outcasts. Christ presents Himself to us under every disguise: the dying, the paralytic, the leper, the invalid, the orphan.
Mother Teresa
Image
Death, in the final analysis, is only the easiest and quickest means to go back to God. If only we could make people understand that we come from God and that we have to go back to Him!
Mother Teresa
Image
Give the world the best you have and you may get hurt. Give the world your best anyway.
Mother Teresa
Image
I am nothing I am but an instrument, a tiny pencil in the hands of the Lord with which He writes what he likes. However imperfect we are, he writes beautifully.
Mother Teresa
Image
Listen in silence because if your heart is full of other things you cannot hear the voice of God
Mother Teresa
Image
Real prayer is union with God, a union as vital as that of the vine to the branch.
Mother Teresa
