More quotes by Mother Teresa
It takes a checkbook to change the world
Mother Teresa
Prayer is not asking. Prayer is putting oneself in the hands of God, at His disposition, and listening to His voice in the depth of our hearts.
Mother Teresa
I always begin my prayer in silence, for it is in the silence of the heart that God speaks. God is the friend of silence-we need to listen to God because it's not what we say but what He says to us and through us that matters.
Mother Teresa
The joy of Jesus will be my strength - it will be in my heart. Every person I meet will see it in my work my walk, my prayer - in everything.
Mother Teresa
God doesn't ask that we succeed in everything, but that we are faithful. However beautiful our work may be, let us not become attached to it. Always remain prepared to give it up, without losing your peace.
Mother Teresa
The fruit of love is service, which is compassion in action.
Mother Teresa
Let me thus praise You in the way You love best: by shining on those around me. Let me preach You without preaching, not by words, but by my example, by the catching force, the sympathetic influence of what I do, the evident fullness of the love my heart bears to You. Amen.
Mother Teresa
We serve life, not because it is broken, but because it is holy.
Mother Teresa
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
Give your hands to serve and your hearts to love.
Mother Teresa
When you love till it hurts, there will be no hurt left, just love.
Mother Teresa
Once I asked my counsellor for advice about my vocation. I asked, 'How can I know if God is calling me and for what he is calling me?' He answered, 'You will know by your happiness. If you are happy with the idea that God calls you to serve him and your neighbour, this will be the proof of your vocation.'
Mother Teresa
In the end, dear friend, it is always between us and God, not between us and them.
Mother Teresa
If abortion isn't wrong, then nothing is wrong.
Mother Teresa
Let's not pray long, drawn-out prayers, but let's pray short ones full of love. Let us pray on behalf of those who do not pray. Let us remember, if we want to be able to love, we must be able to pray!
Mother Teresa
I have a diplomatic passport for India, diplomatic passport for Albania. I have Vatican passport and to America, I can go any time.
Mother Teresa
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
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.
Mother Teresa
I am only a little pencil in the hand of our Lord. He may cut or sharpen the pencil. He may write or draw whatever and whenever he wants. If the writing or drawing is good, we do not honor the pencil or the material that is used, but rather the one who used 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
