Image
Give a glass of water, you give it to me. Receive a little child, you receive me.
Mother Teresa
Image
If you are hungry to hear the voice of God, you will hear. To hear, you have to cut out all other things.
Mother Teresa
Image
These concerns (for orphan children in India and elsewhere in the world) are very good, but often these same people are not concerned with the millions that are killed by the deliberate decision of their own mothers.
Mother Teresa
Image
By abortion, the mother does not learn to love, but kills even her own child to solve her problems.
Mother Teresa
Image
We need prayer to understand God's love for us. If we really mean to pray and want to pray we must be ready to do it now. These are only the first steps towards prayer but if we never make the first step with determination, we will not reach the last one: the presence of God
Mother Teresa
Image
Get to know the poor in your country. Love them. Serve them.
Mother Teresa
Image
Holiness is doing God's will with a smile.
Mother Teresa
Image
God has created us to love and to be loved, and this is the beginning of prayer-to know that He loves me, that I have been created for greater things.
Mother Teresa
Image
God loves me. I'm not here just to fill a place, just to be a number. He has chosen me for a purpose. I know it.
Mother Teresa
Image
The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.
Mother Teresa
Image
We think we do so much for the poor, but it is they who make us rich
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
Love should be as natural as living and breathing.
Mother Teresa
Image
Be faithful in the little things.
Mother Teresa
Image
Silence of the heart is necessary so you can hear God everywhere - in the closing of the door, in the person who needs you, in the birds that sing, in the flowers, in the animals.
Mother Teresa
Image
I picked up a man from the street, and he was eaten up alive from worms. Nobody could stand him, and he was smelling so badly. I went to him to clean him, and he asked, 'Why do you do this?' I said, 'Because I love you.'
Mother Teresa
Image
For me, life is the most beautiful gift of God to mankind, therefore people and nations who destroy life by abortion and euthanasia are the poorest. I do not say legal or illegal, but I think that no human hand should be raised to kill life, since life is God's life in us, even in an unborn child.
Mother Teresa
Image
Love is proved by deeds the more they cost us, the greater the proof of our love.
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.
Mother Teresa
Image
I don't think there is anyone who needs God's help as much as I do. Sometimes I feel so helpless and weak. I think that is why God uses me. Because I cannot depend on my own strength, I rely on Him twenty-four hours a day.
