Our life of poverty is as necessary as the work itself. Only in heaven will we see how much we owe to the poor for helping us to love God better because of them.

More quotes by Mother Teresa
We complicate prayer as we complicate many things. It is to love Jesus with undivided love-for you, for me, for all of us. And that undivided love is put into action when we do as Jesus said, love as I have loved you
Mother Teresa
Get to know the poor in your country. Love them. Serve them.
Mother Teresa
Let us not love by words alone, but let us love until it hurts.
Mother Teresa
God made the world for the delight of human beings.
Mother Teresa
Do we know our poor people? Do we know the poor in our house, in our family? Perhaps they are not hungry for a piece of bread. Perhaps our children, husband, wife, are not hungry, or naked, or dispossessed, but are you sure there is no one there who feels unwanted, deprived of affection?
Mother Teresa
There is more hunger for love and appreciation in this world than for bread.
Mother Teresa
Prayer is not asking. Prayer is putting oneself in the hands of God, at His disposition, and listening to His voice in the depth of our hearts.
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
We are called upon not to be successful, but to be faithful.
Mother Teresa
Every human being in that case resembles Christ in his loneliness and that is the hardest part, that's real hunger.
Mother Teresa
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
Mother Teresa
More tears are shed over answered prayers than unanswered ones.
Mother Teresa
Don't wait to be led...do it yourself, person to person.
Mother Teresa
Each of us is merely a small instrument all of us, after accomplishing our mission, will disappear.
Mother Teresa
Prayer enlarges the heart until it is capable of containing God's gift of Himself. Ask and seek and you heart will grow big enough to receive Him and to keep Him as your own. Wherever God has put you, that is your vocation. It is not what we do but how much love we put into it.
Mother Teresa
Holiness does not consist in doing extraordinary things. It consists in accepting, with a smile, what Jesus sends us. It consists in accepting and following the will of God.
Mother Teresa
Doctors can heal the body, but it is music that uplifts the spirit.
Mother Teresa
God loves me. I'm not here just to fill a place, just to be a number. He has chosen me for a purpose. I know it.
Mother Teresa
Let's do something beautiful for God.
Mother Teresa
Sweetest Lord, make me appreciative of the dignity of my high vocation, and its many responsibilities. Never permit me to disgrace it by giving way to coldness, unkindness, or impatience.
Mother Teresa
