The first time I received an award, I was very surprised. I did not know whether to accept it or not. But I came to the conclusion that I should accept awards in the name of the poorest poor, as a form of homage to them. I think that basically, when awards are given to me, the existence of the poor in the world is being recognized.

Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.
Mother Teresa

If you ever feel distressed during your day - call upon our Lady - just say this simple prayer: 'Mary, Mother of Jesus, please be a mother to me now.' I must admit - this prayer has never failed me.

People crave attention and appreciation more than they do bread.
Mother Teresa
Image
The trees, the flowers, the plants grow in silence. The stars, the sun, the moon move in silence. Silence gives us a new perspective.

If you really love one another, you will not be able to avoid making sacrifices.

If you have not the experience, ask. There is no shame in asking, but do not pretend you know when you don't.
