Quote

I never looked at the masses as my responsibility. I can only love one person at a time. So I began. I picked up one person. Maybe if I didn't pick up that one person, I wouldn't have picked up forty-two thousand.

Holy Angels, our advocates, our brothers, our counselors, our defenders, our enlighteners, our friends, our guides, our helpers, our intercessors - Pray for us.

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
Image
Let us touch the dying, the poor, the lonely and the unwanted according to the graces we have received and let us not be ashamed or slow to do the humble work.
Mother Teresa

We have no salaries. When one says he is from a good Catholic family and says he wants to help us, why should we refuse his offer?
Mother Teresa

The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.
Mother Teresa

People crave attention and appreciation more than they do bread.
Mother Teresa

Be kind and merciful. Let no one ever come to you without coming away better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness.

Life is an adventure, dare it.

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.

From the moment a soul has the grace to know God, she must seek.
