Image
Joy is prayer joy is strength, joy is love. God loves a cheerful giver. The best way we can show our gratitude to God and the people is to accept everything with joy.
Mother Teresa
Image
Hungry for love, He looks at you. Thirsty for kindness, He begs of you. Naked for loyalty, He hopes in you. Homeless for shelter in your heart, He asks of you. Will you be that one to Him?
Mother Teresa
Image
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
Image
The poverty in the West is a different kind of poverty—it is not only a poverty of loneliness but also of spirituality. There’s a hunger for love, as there is a hunger for God.
Mother Teresa
Image
To fear is to expect punishment. To love is to know we are immersed not in darkness, but in light.
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.
Mother Teresa
Image
Let us use love and compassion. Peace begins with a smile. Smile five times a day at someone you don't really want to smile at at all. Do it for peace.
Mother Teresa
Image
Every country I love and I am a child of God to love the humans.
Mother Teresa
Image
Prayer enlarges the heart until it is capable of containing God's gift of Himself. Ask and seek and you heart will grow big enough to receive Him and to keep Him as your own. Wherever God has put you, that is your vocation. It is not what we do but how much love we put into it.
Mother Teresa
Image
We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence.
Mother Teresa
Image
I am not sure exactly what heaven will be like, but I know that when we die and it comes time for God to judge us, he will not ask, 'How many good things have you done in your life?' rather he will ask, 'How much love did you put into what you did?'

Do you want to be great? Pick up a broom and sweep the floor.
Mother Teresa

All of us must be saints in this world. Holiness is a duty for you and me. So let's be saints and so give glory to the Father.

You can find Calcutta all over the world, if you have the eyes to see.
Mother Teresa
Image
The future is not in our hands. We have no power over it. We can act only today. We have a sentence in our Constitution that says: 'We will allow the good God to make plans for the future - for yesterday has gone, tomorrow has not yet come and we have only today to make Him known, loved and served.' So we do not worry about the future.

We think we do so much for the poor, but it is they who make us rich
Mother Teresa
Image
Have a great compassion for people. To be able to have a heart full of compassion, we need to pray. Especially be kind, be loving to the poor. We think we do so much for the poor, but it is they who make us rich. We are in debt to them. Do you want to do something beautiful for God? There is a person who needs you. This is your chance.
