Quote

Peace and war begin at home. If we truly want peace in the world, let us begin by loving one another in our own families. If we want to spread joy, we need for every family to have joy.

In the poorest of the poor we see Jesus in distressed guise.
Mother Teresa
Image
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
Image
People everywhere are the same they are all people to be loved. They are all hungry for love.

Of all the diseases I have known, loneliness is the worst.

Don't wait to be led...do it yourself, person to person.
Mother Teresa

Everything starts from prayer. Without asking God for love, we cannot possess love and still less are we able to give it to others. Just as people today are speaking so much about the poor but they do not know or talk to the poor, we too cannot talk so much about prayer and yet not know how to pray.

Communion with Christ gives us our strength, our joy, and our love.

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.'

There is only one God and He is God to all therefore it is important that everyone is seen as equal before God. I've always said we should help a Hindu become a better Hindu, a Muslim become a better Muslim, a Catholic become a better Catholic.

Mother Teresa

I can't help thousands, I can help only the one who stands before me.

Mother Teresa tells a story of walking past an open drain and catching a glimpse of something moving in it. She investigated and found a dying man whom she took back to a home where he could die in love and peace. 'I live like an animal in the streets,' the man told her. 'Now I will die like an angel'.

The Cross will be for us as it was for Christ: proof of the greatest love.
Mother Teresa
Image
What you are doing I cannot do, what I'm doing you cannot do, but together we are doing something beautiful for God, and this is the greatness of God's love for us-To give us the opportunity to become holy through the works of love that we do because holiness is not the luxury of the few.
Mother Teresa

The time you spend with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is the best time you will spend on earth. Each moment that you spend with Jesus will deepen your union with Him and make your soul everlastingly more glorious and beautiful in Heaven, and will help bring about everlasting peace on earth

If you want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.

The first step to becoming is to will it.

Even when the urgent is good, the good can keep you from your best, keep you from your unique contribution, if you let it.
