Image
Anybody who helps the poor is delighted. So naturally, they (critics) are not very happy with us.
Mother Teresa
Image
Communion with Christ gives us our strength, our joy, and our love.
Mother Teresa
Image
Love cannot remain by itself - it has no meaning. Love has to be put into action and that action is service.
Mother Teresa
Image
If we were humble, nothing would change us-neither praise nor discouragement. If someone were to criticize us, we would not feel discouraged. If someone would praise us, we also would not feel proud.
Mother Teresa
Image
The work we do is only our love for Jesus in action...If we pray the work...if we do it to Jesus, if we do it for Jesus, if we do it with Jesus...that's what makes us content.
Mother Teresa
Image
Prayer is the mortar that holds our house together.
Mother Teresa
Image
Have a great compassion for people. To be able to have a heart full of compassion, we need to pray. Especially be kind, be loving to the poor. We think we do so much for the poor, but it is they who make us rich. We are in debt to them. Do you want to do something beautiful for God? There is a person who needs you. This is your chance.
Mother Teresa
Image
There is a famine in America. Not a famine of food, but of love, of truth, of life.
Mother Teresa
Image
Prayer is as necessary as the air, as the blood in our bodies, as anything to keep us alive-to keep us alive to the grace of God.
Mother Teresa
Image
We cannot separate our lives from the Eucharist the moment we do, something breaks. People ask, 'Where do the sisters get the joy and the energy to do what they are doing?' The Eucharist involves more than just receiving it also involves satisfying the hunger of Christ. He says, 'Come to Me.' He is hungry for souls.
Mother Teresa
Image
I want you to find the poor here, right in your own home first. And begin love there. Be that good news to your own people.
Mother Teresa
Image
We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence.
Mother Teresa
Image
Be humble like Mary so that you can be holy like Jesus
Mother Teresa
Image
People are hungry for God. What [a] terrible meeting [it] would be with our neighbour if we give them only ourselves.
Mother Teresa
Image
All we do our prayers our work our suffering is for Jesus. Our life has no other reason or motivation.
Mother Teresa
Image
Love is not patronizing and charity isn't about pity, it is about love. Charity and love are the same -- with charity you give love, so don't just give money but reach out your hand instead.
Mother Teresa
Image
Pain and suffering have come into your life, but remember pain, sorrow, suffering are but the kiss of Jesus - a sign that you have come so close to Him that He can kiss you.
Mother Teresa
Image
It is much easier to conquer a country than to conquer ourselves.
Mother Teresa
Image
I choose the poverty of our poor people. But I am grateful to receive it (the Nobel) in the name of the hungry, the naked, the homeless, of the crippled, of the blind, of the lepers, of all those people who feel unwanted, unloved, uncared for throughout society, people that have become a burden to the society and are shunned by everyone.

If we can not love the person whom we see, how can we love God whom we can not see?
