More quotes by Mother Teresa
From the moment a soul has the grace to know God, she must seek.
Mother Teresa
How many times we have picked up in the streets human beings who had been living like animals and were longing to die like angels!
Mother Teresa
We must love prayer. It widens the heart to the point of making it capable of containing the gift that God makes of himself. Ask and seek, and your heart will be widened to welcome him and to keep him within itself.
Mother Teresa
It is easy to love the people far away. It is not always easy to love those close to us.
Mother Teresa
If you try, you will find it impossible to do one great thing. You can only do many small things with great love.
Mother Teresa
When you look at the Sacred Host you understand how much Jesus loves you now.
Mother Teresa
At the heart of silence is prayer. At the heart of prayer is faith. At the heart of faith is life. At the heart of life is service.
Mother Teresa
Never Let Anyone Come to You Without Coming Away Better and Happier
Mother Teresa
Be kind to each other. It is better to commit faults with gentleness than to work miracles with unkindness.
Mother Teresa
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
Even when the urgent is good, the good can keep you from your best, keep you from your unique contribution, if you let it.
Mother Teresa
The success of love is in the loving - it is not in the result of loving. Of course it is natural in love to want the best for the other person, but whether it turns out that way or not does not determine the value of what we have done.
Mother Teresa
I prefer to make a mistake because I am too kind than to perform miracles without any kindness.
Mother Teresa
Jesus has made Himself the Bread of Life to give us life. Night and day, He is there. If you really want to grow in love, come back to the Eucharist, come back to that Adoration.
Mother Teresa
No matter who says what, you should accept it with a smile and do your own work.
Mother Teresa
A life not lived for others is not a life.
Mother Teresa
I must be willing to give whatever it takes to do good to others. This requires that I be willing to give until it hurts. Otherwise, there is no true love in me, and I bring injustice, not peace, to those around me.
Mother Teresa
Let us more and more insist on raising funds of love, of kindness, of understanding, of peace. Money will come if we seek first the Kingdom of God - the rest will be given.
Mother Teresa
In the poorest of the poor we see Jesus in distressed guise.
Mother Teresa
Poverty was not created by God. It is we who have caused it, you and I through our egotism.
Mother Teresa
