Where was Mother Teresa's Jesus? He was in the Bible, in the church, in her prayer, in the Eucharist, in her sisters, in the heart of everyone she met, and especially in the poorest of the poor and the lowest of the low. Jesus was in disguise in each one of them. Jesus was behind the foundation of her order. Jesus was behind all that she did.

Mother Teresa

Mary, my dearest Mother, give me your heart so beautiful, so pure, so immaculate, your heart so full of love and humility, that I may be able to receive Jesus in the Bread of Life, love Him as you loved Hitn and serve Him in the distressing disguise of the poorest of the poor.
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
Life is a song, sing it. Life is a struggle, accept it.
Mother Teresa
Image
And if we can accept that a mother can kill her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another?
Mother Teresa
Image
If abortion isn't wrong, then nothing is wrong.
Mother Teresa

Faith is more important to me than life itself because without it there would be no fullness of life.
Mother Teresa
Image
The family that prays together stays together, and if they stay together they will love one another as God has loved each one of them. And works of love are always works of peace.
Mother Teresa
Image
Give a glass of water, you give it to me. Receive a little child, you receive me.
Mother Teresa
Image
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

Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls.
