The family that prays together stays together, and if they stay together they will love one another as God has loved each one of them. And works of love are always works of peace.
Mother Teresa

Your true character Is most accurately measured by how you treat those who can do 'Nothing' for you

To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.
Mother Teresa
Image
Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do, but how much love we put in the action that we do.
Mother Teresa
Image
I used to believe that prayer changes things, but now I know that prayer changes us, and we change things.
Mother Teresa
Image
Often you can see power lines running alongside the street. Unless current is flowing through them, there is no light. The power line is you and I! The current is God! We have the power to allow the current to flow through us and thus to generate the light of the world: JESUS - or to refuse to be used and, thus, allow the darkness to spread.

Mother Teresa tells a story of walking past an open drain and catching a glimpse of something moving in it. She investigated and found a dying man whom she took back to a home where he could die in love and peace. 'I live like an animal in the streets,' the man told her. 'Now I will die like an angel'.

A sacrifice to be real must cost, must hurt, must empty ourselves.
Mother Teresa
Image
One thing will always secure heaven for us-the acts of charity and kindness with which we have filled our lives. We can do no great things, only small things with great love.
Mother Teresa
Image
The future is not in our hands. We have no power over it. We can act only today. We have a sentence in our Constitution that says: 'We will allow the good God to make plans for the future - for yesterday has gone, tomorrow has not yet come and we have only today to make Him known, loved and served.' So we do not worry about the future.
Mother Teresa

I don't do great things. I do small things with great love.
Mother Teresa

We are now in 126 countries. We have 561 houses - tabernacles we call them - and over 4600 nuns. It's simply to serve the poorest of the poor. We are wanted and we have championed those who have nothing, the deprived children of God.

Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.
Mother Teresa
Image
We must never be afraid to be a sign of contradiction for the world.
Mother Teresa

My secret is a very simple one: I pray. To pray to Christ is to love him.
Mother Teresa
Image
It is only by frequent deaths of ourselves and our self-centered desires that we can come to live more fully.
Mother Teresa
Image
The more we can give in our silent prayer, the more we can give in our active life.
Mother Teresa
Image
We must love prayer. It widens the heart to the point of making it capable of containing the gift that God makes of himself. Ask and seek, and your heart will be widened to welcome him and to keep him within itself.
Mother Teresa
