Image
Maybe if I didn't pick up that one person, I wouldn't have picked up forty-two thousand.
Mother Teresa
Image
The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.
Mother Teresa
Image
I used to pray that God would feed the hungry, or do this or that, but now I pray that he will guide me to do whatever I'm supposed to do, what I can do. I used to pray for answers, but now I'm praying for strength. I used to believe that prayer changes things, but now I know that prayer changes us and we change things.

It is a just retribution for improper sexual misconduct
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
God loves the world through us.
Mother Teresa
Image
Sweetest Lord, make me appreciative of the dignity of my high vocation, and its many responsibilities. Never permit me to disgrace it by giving way to coldness, unkindness, or impatience.
Mother Teresa
Image
Death, in the final analysis, is only the easiest and quickest means to go back to God. If only we could make people understand that we come from God and that we have to go back to Him!
Mother Teresa

But I feel that the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a war against the child, a direct killing of the innocent child, murder by the mother herself.
Mother Teresa

The beginning of prayer is silence.
Mother Teresa

It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish.
Mother Teresa

…Spread your love everywhere you go.
Mother Teresa

Holiness is doing God's will with a smile.
Mother Teresa
Image
These concerns (for orphan children in India and elsewhere in the world) are very good, but often these same people are not concerned with the millions that are killed by the deliberate decision of their own mothers.
Mother Teresa
Image
Listen in silence because if your heart is full of other things you cannot hear the voice of God
Mother Teresa
Image
When you have nothing left but God,you have more than enough to start over again.
Mother Teresa
Image
What we say does not matter - only what God says to souls through us.
Mother Teresa
Image
I have said often, and I am sure of it, that the greatest destroyer of peace in the world today is abortion. If a mother can kill her own child, what is there to stop you and me from killing each other? The only one who has the right to take life is the The One who has created it.
Mother Teresa

Faith is a gift from God and he gives it to whomever he chooses
Mother Teresa

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight build it anyway.
