You weren't created just to consume resources, you were put on this Earth to make a contribution.
Mother Teresa

Love cannot remain by itself - it has no meaning. Love has to be put into action and that action is service.
Mother Teresa
Image
I think that before people were speaking much about the poor, but now more and more people are speaking to the poor. That is the great difference.

We have only today. Let us begin
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.

My secret is simple -- I pray.

Keep Giving Jesus to the people, not by words but by your example, by being in love with Jesus, by radiating holiness and spreading his fragrance of love everywhere you go. Just keep the joy of Jesus as your strength, be happy and at peace.

Do we know our poor people? Do we know the poor in our house, in our family? Perhaps they are not hungry for a piece of bread. Perhaps our children, husband, wife, are not hungry, or naked, or dispossessed, but are you sure there is no one there who feels unwanted, deprived of affection?
Mother Teresa

Words lead to deeds, they prepare the soul, make it ready, and move it to tenderness.
Mother Teresa
Image
One thing I ask you to do, you people who have the pen in your hand, allow God to use you so that you never write anything that will destroy, that will hurt, but always take the trouble to write something beautiful, to help the people to see better, to love better, to come closer... to each other.

The fruit of love is service, which is compassion in action.
Mother Teresa

A day lived without doing something good for others is a day not worth living.
Mother Teresa
Image
I am not sure exactly what heaven will be like, but I know that when we die and it comes time for God to judge us, he will not ask, 'How many good things have you done in your life?' rather he will ask, 'How much love did you put into what you did?'
Mother Teresa

Spread love whenever you go.

Life is not worth living unless it is lived for others.

A joyful heart is like the sunshine of God's love, the hope of eternal happiness.
