More quotes by Mother Teresa

Image
It is only by frequent deaths of ourselves and our self-centered desires that we can come to live more fully.
Mother Teresa
Image
The greatest destroyer of peace is abortion because if a mother can kill her own child, what is left for me to kill you and you to kill me? There is nothing between.
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.
Mother Teresa
Image
People everywhere are the same they are all people to be loved. They are all hungry for love.
Mother Teresa
Image
Even if I wanted, I cannot do anything. When they die, we always send for their co-religionists. Muslims take the Muslim's body to bury it, Hindus come and take away the dead to be cremated and Christians come and bury their dead.

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

Love should be as natural as living and breathing.
Mother Teresa
Image
God speaks in the silence of the heart, and we listen. And then we speak to God from the fullness of our heart, and God listens. And this listening and this speaking is what prayer is meant to be.
Mother Teresa
Image
Once we take our eyes away from ourselves, from our interests, from our own rights, privileges, ambitions - then they will become clear to see Jesus around us.
Mother Teresa
Image
All that we need to know all the wisdom of the cosmos we will find in our own heart
Mother Teresa

I do not pray for success, I ask for faithfulness.
Mother Teresa
Image
I am Albanian by birth. Now I am a citizen of India. I am also a Catholic nun. In my work, I belong to the whole world. But in my heart, I belong to Christ.
Mother Teresa
Image
God loves the world through us.
Mother Teresa
Image
Real prayer is union with God.
Mother Teresa

Words which do not give the light of Christ increase the darkness.

Prayer gives us a pure heart and a pure heart can do much.
