Image
God speaks in the silence of the heart. Listening is the beginning of prayer.
Mother Teresa
Image
The miracle is not that we do this work, but that we are happy to do it.
Mother Teresa
Image
You and I, we are the Church, no? We have to share with our people. Suffering today is because people are hoarding, not giving, not sharing. Jesus made it very clear. Whatever you do to the least of my brethren, you do it to me. Give a glass of water, you give it to me. Receive a little child, you receive me. Clear.
Mother Teresa
Image
It is easy to love the people far away. It is not always easy to love those close to us. It is easier to give a cup of rice to relieve hunger than to relieve the loneliness and pain of someone unloved in our own home. Bring love into your home for this is where our love for each other must start.
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
I don't think we can do anything more than what we are doing now.
Mother Teresa
Image
God speaks in the silence of the heart, and we listen. And then we speak to God from the fullness of our heart, and God listens. And this listening and this speaking is what prayer is meant to be.
Mother Teresa
Image
Whatever religion we are, we must pray together.
Mother Teresa
Image
If we pray, we will believe If we believe, we will love If we love, we will serve.
Mother Teresa
Image
When you have nothing left but God,you have more than enough to start over again.
Mother Teresa
Image
Every adult was once a child free from prejudice.
Mother Teresa
Image
Charity isn't about pity, it is about love.
Mother Teresa
Image
Silence gives us a new way of looking at something.
Mother Teresa
Image
We complicate prayer as we complicate many things. It is to love Jesus with undivided love-for you, for me, for all of us. And that undivided love is put into action when we do as Jesus said, love as I have loved you
Mother Teresa
Image
I begin each day with holy Mass, receiving Jesus hidden under the appearance of a simple piece of bread. Then I go out into the streets and I find the same Jesus hidden in the dying destitute, the AIDS patients, the lepers, the abandoned children, the hungry, and the homeless. It's the same Jesus.
Mother Teresa
Image
I am nothing I am but an instrument, a tiny pencil in the hands of the Lord with which He writes what he likes. However imperfect we are, he writes beautifully.
Mother Teresa
Image
Get to know the poor in your country. Love them. Serve them.
Mother Teresa
Image
If you want to have world peace, go to your house and love your family.
Mother Teresa
Image
Prayer enlarges the heart until it is capable of containing God's gift of Himself. Ask and seek and you heart will grow big enough to receive Him and to keep Him as your own. Wherever God has put you, that is your vocation. It is not what we do but how much love we put into it.
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!
