More quotes by Mother Teresa

Image
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
Image
Peace starts with a smile
Mother Teresa
Image
We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence.
Mother Teresa
Image
A Mother is the heart of the home
Mother Teresa
Image
Let us love one another as God loves each one of us. And where does this love begin? In our own home. How does it begin? By praying together.
Mother Teresa
Image
What will we answer to Him about that child, that old father and mother, because they are His creation, they are children of God.
Mother Teresa
Image
I don't think we can do anything more than what we are doing now.
Mother Teresa
Image
It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish.
Mother Teresa
Image
Jesus wants me to tell you again...how much is the love He has for each one of you-beyond all what you can imagine...Not only He loves you, even more - He longs for you. He misses you when you don't come close. He thirsts for you. He loves you always, even when you don't feel worthy.

Live simply so others may simply live.
Mother Teresa
Image
Abortion kills twice. It kills the body of the baby and it kills the conscience of the mother. Abortion is profoundly anti-women. Three quarters of its victims are women: Half the babies and all the mothers.
Mother Teresa
Image
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
You have to be holy in your position as you are, and I have to be holy in the position that God has put me. So it is nothing extraordinary to be holy. Holiness is not the luxury of the few. Holiness is a simple duty for you and for me. We have been created for that.
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
If I look at the mass I will never act.
Mother Teresa
Image
Love cannot remain by itself - it has no meaning. Love has to be put into action, and that action is service. Whatever form we are, able or disabled, rich or poor, it is not how much we do, but how much love we put in the doing a lifelong sharing of love with others.
Mother Teresa
Image
I know I would not be able to work one week if it were not for that continual force coming from Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.
Mother Teresa
Image
Keep your heart pure. A pure heart is necessary to see God in each other. If you see God in each other, there is love for each other, then there is peace.
Mother Teresa
Image
If there are poor on the moon, we will go there too.
Mother Teresa
Image
If you are humble nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace, because you know what you are.
Mother Teresa
