Holiness does not consist in doing extraordinary things. It consists in accepting, with a smile, what Jesus sends us. It consists in accepting and following the will of God.

A sacrifice to be real must cost, must hurt, must empty ourselves.
Mother Teresa
Image
My prayer for you is that you may grow in the likeness of Christ, being real carriers of God's love and that you really bring his presence, first, into your own family, then, to the next door neighbor, the street you we live in, the town we live in, the country we live, then only, in the whole world, that living example of God's presence.
Mother Teresa
Image
The highest form of worship is to find the least among you and treat them like Jesus.
Mother Teresa

Mary, my dearest Mother, give me your heart so beautiful, so pure, so immaculate, your heart so full of love and humility, that I may be able to receive Jesus in the Bread of Life, love Him as you loved Hitn and serve Him in the distressing disguise of the poorest of the poor.
Mother Teresa

Only humility will lead us to unity, and unity will lead to peace.
Mother Teresa

Peace and war begin at home. If we truly want peace in the world, let us begin by loving one another in our own families. If we want to spread joy, we need for every family to have joy.
Mother Teresa

Life is beauty, admire it.
Mother Teresa

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
We need silence to be able to touch souls.
Mother Teresa
Image
Jesus has said Come, blessed of my Father, take the seat in the kingdom prepared for you, because I was hungry you gave me food, I was thirsty you have me drink, I was naked you clothed me, I was homeless you took me home and I was sick you visited me. And we are just doing that.
Mother Teresa
Image
The biggest disease today is not leprosy or cancer or tuberculosis, but rather the feeling or being unwanted, uncared for, deserted by everybody. The greatest evil is the lack of love and charity, the terrible indifference towards one's neighbor who lives at the roadside, the victim of exploitation, corruption, poverty, and disease.
Mother Teresa
Image
If we pray, we will believe If we believe, we will love If we love, we will serve.
Mother Teresa
Image
Give the world the best you have and you may get hurt. Give the world your best anyway.
Mother Teresa
Image
From the moment a soul has the grace to know God, she must seek.
Mother Teresa
Image
Charity isn't about pity, it is about love.
Mother Teresa
Image
Each of us is merely a small instrument all of us, after accomplishing our mission, will disappear.
