More quotes by Mother Teresa

Image
I realized that I had the call to take care of the sick and the dying, the hungry, the naked, the homeless - to be God's Love in action to the poorest of the poor. That was the beginning of the Missionaries of Charity.

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.

Loneliness is the leprosy of the modern world.

Holiness is doing God's will with a smile.

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?'
Mother Teresa
Image
God has created us to love and to be loved, and this is the beginning of prayer-to know that He loves me, that I have been created for greater things.
Mother Teresa
Image
All we do our prayers our work our suffering is for Jesus. Our life has no other reason or motivation.
Mother Teresa
Image
A beautiful death is for people who have lived like animals to die like angels.
Mother Teresa
Image
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'.

Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration with exposition needs a great push. People ask me: 'What will convert America and save the world?' My answer is prayer. What we need is for every parish to come before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament in holy hours of prayer.
Mother Teresa
Image
Without our suffering, our work would simply be social work, very good and helpful, but it would not be the work of Jesus Christ, not part of the Redemption.
Mother Teresa

Be faithful in the little things.
Mother Teresa
Image
You can and you must expect suffering.
Mother Teresa
Image
Joy must be one of the pivots of our life. It is the token of a generous personality. Sometimes it is also a mantle that clothes a life of sacrifice and self-giving. A person who has this gift often reaches high summits. He or she is like sun in a community.
Mother Teresa
Image
We must never be afraid to be a sign of contradiction for the world.
Mother Teresa
Image
If we can not love the person whom we see, how can we love God whom we can not see?
Mother Teresa
Image
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.
Mother Teresa
Image
I trust that God wouldn't give me more than I can handle. I just wish he didn't have such faith in me.
Mother Teresa

I do not pray for success, I ask for faithfulness.
