Prayer is not asking. Prayer is putting oneself in the hands of God, at His disposition, and listening to His voice in the depth of our hearts.

More quotes by Mother Teresa
Life is not worth living unless it is lived for others.
Mother Teresa
It often happens that those who spend their time giving light to others, remain in darkness themselves.
Mother Teresa
There is hunger for ordinary bread, and there is hunger for love, for kindness, for thoughtfulness, and this is the great poverty that makes people suffer so much.
Mother Teresa
Love has no meaning if it isn't shared. We have been created for greater things - to love and to be loved... To love a person without any conditions, without any expectations. Small things, done in great love, bring joy and peace. To love, it is necessary to give. To give, it is necessary to be free from selfishness.
Mother Teresa
Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being's entitlement by virtue of his humanity. The right to life does not depend, and must not be contingent, on the pleasure of anyone else, not even a parent or sovereign. ... You must weep that your own government, at present, seems blind to this truth.
Mother Teresa
Whatever our religion, we know that if we really want to love, we must first learn to forgive before anything else.
Mother Teresa
When you have nothing left but God,you have more than enough to start over again.
Mother Teresa
Maybe if I didn't pick up that one person, I wouldn't have picked up forty-two thousand.
Mother Teresa
We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.
Mother Teresa
Let us use love and compassion. Peace begins with a smile. Smile five times a day at someone you don't really want to smile at at all. Do it for peace.
Mother Teresa
We belong to each other.
Mother Teresa
Prayer gives us a pure heart and a pure heart can do much.
Mother Teresa
A clean heart can see God, can speak to God, and can see the love of God in others.
Mother Teresa
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
We must love one another as God loves each one of us. To be able to love, we need a clean heart. Prayer is what gives us a clean heart. The fruit of prayer is a deepening of faith and the fruit of faith is love. The fruit of love is service, which is compassion in action.
Mother Teresa
I try to give to the poor people for love what the rich could get for money.
Mother Teresa
I'm a little pencil in the hand of a writing God, who is sending a love letter to the world.
Mother Teresa
If we can not love the person whom we see, how can we love God whom we can not see?
Mother Teresa
Give your hands to serve and your hearts to love.
Mother Teresa
We have no salaries. When one says he is from a good Catholic family and says he wants to help us, why should we refuse his offer?
Mother Teresa
