More quotes by Mother Teresa
Life's a song,sing it
Mother Teresa
God loves the world through us.
Mother Teresa
Each of us is merely a small instrument all of us, after accomplishing our mission, will disappear.
Mother Teresa
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
Live simply so others may simply live.
Mother Teresa
Silence gives us a new outlook on everything. We need silence to be able to touch souls. The essential thing is not what we say but what God says to us and through us.
Mother Teresa
When you don't have anything, then you have everything.
Mother Teresa
Joy must be one of the pivots of our life. It is the token of a generous personality. Sometimes it is also a mantle that clothes a life of sacrifice and self-giving. A person who has this gift often reaches high summits. He or she is like sun in a community.
Mother Teresa
God has created us to love and to be loved, and this is the beginning of prayer-to know that He loves me, that I have been created for greater things.
Mother Teresa
We may not be able to give much but we can always give the joy that springs in a heart that is in LOVE WITH GOD.
Mother Teresa
Our poverty is freedom. This is our poverty - the giving up our freedom to dispose of things, to choose, to possess
Mother Teresa
To God there is nothing small. The moment we have given it to God, it becomes infinite.
Mother Teresa
Put yourself completely under the influence of Jesus, so that he may think his thoughts in your mind, do his work through your hands, for you will be all-powerful with him to strengthen 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
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
If we can not love the person whom we see, how can we love God whom we can not see?
Mother Teresa
Love should be as natural as living and breathing.
Mother Teresa
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
To choose always the hardest.
Mother Teresa
We must become holy, not because we want to feel holy, but because Christ must be able to live his life fully in us.
Mother Teresa
