Mother Teresa

One thing I ask you to do, you people who have the pen in your hand, allow God to use you so that you never write anything that will destroy, that will hurt, but always take the trouble to write something beautiful, to help the people to see better, to love better, to come closer... to each other.

Gratitude to God is to accept everything, even my problems, with joy.

The more we can give in our silent prayer, the more we can give in our active life.

We must know that we have been created for greater things, not just to be a number in the world, not just to go for diplomas and degrees, this work and that work. We have been created in order to love and to be loved.

Mother Teresa
Image
Get to know the poor in your country. Love them. Serve them.
Mother Teresa

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
If our bones were not sending whispers of doubt to our hearts, there would be no need for prayer at all.
Mother Teresa
Image
Silence of the heart is necessary so you can hear God everywhere - in the closing of the door, in the person who needs you, in the birds that sing, in the flowers, in the animals.
Mother Teresa
Image
He who is faultless does not care for the opinion of others.
Mother Teresa
Image
I try to give to the poor people for love what the rich could get for money. No, I wouldn't touch a leper for a thousand pounds yet I willingly cure him for the love of God.
Mother Teresa
Image
In loving and serving, we prove that we have been created in the likeness of God, for God is Love and when we love we are like God.
Mother Teresa
Image
We must become holy, not because we want to feel holy, but because Christ must be able to live his life fully in us.
Mother Teresa
