Image
There are many people who can do big things, but there are very few people who will do the small things.
Mother Teresa
Image
Put yourself completely under the influence of Jesus, so that he may think his thoughts in your mind, do his work through your hands, for you will be all-powerful with him to strengthen you.
Mother Teresa
Image
These concerns (for orphan children in India and elsewhere in the world) are very good, but often these same people are not concerned with the millions that are killed by the deliberate decision of their own mothers.
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
Give your hands to serve and your hearts to love.
Mother Teresa
Image
Let us preach you, Dear Jesus, without preaching.... not by words but by our example.
Mother Teresa
Image
The success of love is in the loving - it is not in the result of loving. Of course it is natural in love to want the best for the other person, but whether it turns out that way or not does not determine the value of what we have done.
Mother Teresa
Image
The woman is at the heart of the home. Let us pray that we women realize the reason for our existence: to love and be loved and through this love become instruments of peace in the world.
Mother Teresa
Image
You can find Calcutta all over the world, if you have the eyes to see.
Mother Teresa
Image
Love until it hurts. Real love is always painful and hurts: then it is real and pure.
Mother Teresa
Image
No matter who says what, you should accept it with a smile and do your own work.
Mother Teresa
Image
I have a primary responsibility to myself to make myself into the best person I can possibly be. Then and only then, will I have something worthwhile to share.- I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love.
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
I prefer to make a mistake because I am too kind than to perform miracles without any kindness.
Mother Teresa
Image
Holiness consists of doing the will of God with a smile.
Mother Teresa
Image
The right to life does not depend, and must not be declared to be contingent, on the pleasure of anyone else, not even a parent or sovereign.
Mother Teresa
Image
There are so many religions and each one has its different ways of following God. I follow Christ: Jesus is my God, Jesus is my Spouse, Jesus is my Life, Jesus is my only Love, Jesus is my All in All Jesus is my Everything.
Mother Teresa
Image
It is easy to love the people far away. It is not always easy to love those close to us. It is easier to give a cup of rice to relieve hunger than to relieve the loneliness and pain of someone unloved in our own home. Bring love into your home for this is where our love for each other must start.
Mother Teresa

Our poverty is freedom. This is our poverty - the giving up our freedom to dispose of things, to choose, to possess

Holy Angels, our advocates, our brothers, our counselors, our defenders, our enlighteners, our friends, our guides, our helpers, our intercessors - Pray for us.
