Quote

I am not sure exactly what heaven will be like, but I know that when we die and it comes time for God to judge us, he will not ask, 'How many good things have you done in your life?' rather he will ask, 'How much love did you put into what you did?'

How can there be too many children? That is like saying there are too many flowers.
Mother Teresa
Image
Love has no meaning if it isn't shared. We have been created for greater things - to love and to be loved... To love a person without any conditions, without any expectations. Small things, done in great love, bring joy and peace. To love, it is necessary to give. To give, it is necessary to be free from selfishness.

From the moment a soul has the grace to know God, she must seek.

Where was Mother Teresa's Jesus? He was in the Bible, in the church, in her prayer, in the Eucharist, in her sisters, in the heart of everyone she met, and especially in the poorest of the poor and the lowest of the low. Jesus was in disguise in each one of them. Jesus was behind the foundation of her order. Jesus was behind all that she did.

Every time I ask for visa, they (USA) give me visa for five years. I have never had any problem in getting a visa to any nation.

God does not demand that I be successful. God demands that I be faithful. When facing God, results are not important. Faithfulness is what is important.

We realize that what we are accomplishing is a drop in the ocean. But if this drop were not in the ocean, it would be missed.
Mother Teresa

There is only one God and He is God to all therefore it is important that everyone is seen as equal before God. I've always said we should help a Hindu become a better Hindu, a Muslim become a better Muslim, a Catholic become a better Catholic.

If you are Catholic, and some other person comes to you seeking guidance, naturally you take him straight away to someone who can show him God's love.

Life is an adventure, dare it.
Mother Teresa

When a poor person dies I want then to die in the arms of somebody who loves them. I want them to be able to look for the last time into the eyes of somebody who cares for them
Mother Teresa
Image
The future is not in our hands. We have no power over it. We can act only today. We have a sentence in our Constitution that says: 'We will allow the good God to make plans for the future - for yesterday has gone, tomorrow has not yet come and we have only today to make Him known, loved and served.' So we do not worry about the future.

In the final analysis it is between you and God, it was never between you and them anyway.

Living intensely each present day means letting Christ dwell within you. His words are so clear: Today I would like to enter your home.

... do not spare me in anything -- let there be less and less of me in everything.

Life is a song, sing it. Life is a struggle, accept it.
Mother Teresa

Have a great compassion for people. To be able to have a heart full of compassion, we need to pray. Especially be kind, be loving to the poor. We think we do so much for the poor, but it is they who make us rich. We are in debt to them. Do you want to do something beautiful for God? There is a person who needs you. This is your chance.
