If abortion isn't wrong, then nothing is wrong.
Mother Teresa
Image
He came amongst his own and his own received him not, and it hurt him then and it has kept on hurting him. The same hunger, the same loneliness, the same having no one to be accepted by and to be loved and wanted by.
Mother Teresa
Image
The other day I dreamed that I was at the gates of heaven. And St. Peter said, 'Go back to Earth, there are no slums up here.'
Mother Teresa
Image
You may be exhausted with work, you may even kill yourself, but unless your work is interwoven with love, it is useless. To work without love is slavery.
Mother Teresa
Image
A clean heart is a free heart. A free heart can love Christ with an undivided love in chastity, convinced that nothing and nobody will separate it from his love. Purity, chastity, and virginity created a special beauty in Mary that attracted God's attention. He showed his great love for the world by giving Jesus to her.

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

Life's a song,sing it
Mother Teresa
Image
Do not think that love in order to be genuine has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired. Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.
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
Image
When you love till it hurts, there will be no hurt left, just love.
Mother Teresa
Image
When Mother Teresa received the Nobel Prize, she was asked, What can we do to promote world peace? She answered Go home and love your family.
Mother Teresa
Image
Be not afraid. God loves you & wants us to love one another as He loves us. As miserable, weak and sinful as we are, He loves us with an infinitely faithful love.
Mother Teresa
Image
I choose the poverty of our poor people. But I am grateful to receive it (the Nobel) in the name of the hungry, the naked, the homeless, of the crippled, of the blind, of the lepers, of all those people who feel unwanted, unloved, uncared for throughout society, people that have become a burden to the society and are shunned by everyone.
Mother Teresa
Image
Any country that accepts abortion is the poorest of the poor
Mother Teresa
Image
Prayer to be fruitful must come from the heart and must be able to touch the heart of God.
Mother Teresa
Image
What we say does not matter - only what God says to souls through us.
Mother Teresa
Image
The miracle is not that we do this work, but that we are happy to do it.
Mother Teresa
Image
We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.
Mother Teresa
Image
The world today is hungry Not only for bread But hungry for love Hungry to be wanted, Hungry to be loved.
Mother Teresa
Image
I have never been in a war before, but I have seen famine and death. I was asking (myself) what do they feel when they do this? I don't understand it. They are all children of God. Why do they do it. I don't understand.
