Image
I do not pray for success, I ask for faithfulness.
Mother Teresa
Image
People everywhere are the same they are all people to be loved. They are all hungry for love.
Mother Teresa
Image
Hungry for love, He looks at you. Thirsty for kindness, He begs of you. Naked for loyalty, He hopes in you. Homeless for shelter in your heart, He asks of you. Will you be that one to Him?
Mother Teresa
Image
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
Image
There should be less talk. . . . What do you do then? Take a broom and clean someone's house. That says enough.
Mother Teresa
Image
Suffering, if it is accepted together, borne together, is joy.
Mother Teresa
Image
To fear is to expect punishment. To love is to know we are immersed not in darkness, but in light.
Mother Teresa
Image
We are now in 126 countries. We have 561 houses - tabernacles we call them - and over 4600 nuns. It's simply to serve the poorest of the poor. We are wanted and we have championed those who have nothing, the deprived children of God.
Mother Teresa
Image
We cannot separate our lives from the Eucharist the moment we do, something breaks. People ask, 'Where do the sisters get the joy and the energy to do what they are doing?' The Eucharist involves more than just receiving it also involves satisfying the hunger of Christ. He says, 'Come to Me.' He is hungry for souls.
Mother Teresa
Image
Souls of prayer are souls of great silence
Mother Teresa
Image
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
Image
Holiness is not a privilege of a few but a need for all.
Mother Teresa
Image
Peace begins wilt smile.
Mother Teresa
Image
I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.
Mother Teresa
Image
Life is a song, sing it. Life is a struggle, accept it.
Mother Teresa
Image
You who have received so much love, share it with others. Love others the way that God has loved you, with tenderness.
Mother Teresa
Image
We cannot condemn or judge or pass words that will hurt people. We don't know in what way God is appearing to that soul and what God is drawing that soul to therefore, who are we to condemn anybody?
Mother Teresa
Image
The greatest destroyer of peace is abortion because if a mother can kill her own child, what is left for me to kill you and you to kill me? There is nothing between.
Mother Teresa
Image
Spread your love wherever you go.
Mother Teresa
Image
Our poverty is freedom. This is our poverty - the giving up our freedom to dispose of things, to choose, to possess
