Quote

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.

Image
If we were humble, nothing would change us-neither praise nor discouragement. If someone were to criticize us, we would not feel discouraged. If someone would praise us, we also would not feel proud.
Mother Teresa
Image
The greatest destroyer of love and peace is abortion, which is war against the child. The mother doesn't learn to love, but kills to solve her own problems. Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love, but to use any violence to get what they want.
Mother Teresa
Image
A clean heart can see God, can speak to God, and can see the love of God in others.
Mother Teresa
Image
I want you to find the poor here, right in your own home first. And begin love there. Be that good news to your own people.
Mother Teresa

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

We want to create hope for the person ... we must give hope, always hope.
Mother Teresa

Dearest Lord, may I see you today and every day in the person of your sick, and, whilst nursing them, minister unto you. Though you hide yourself behind the unattractive disguise of the irritable, the exacting, the unreasonable, may I still recognize you, and say: Jesus, my patient, how sweet it is to serve you.

In the end, dear friend, it is always between us and God, not between us and them.
Mother Teresa

I do make conversion, if conversion means really turning people to God - to have a clean heart and to love God. That's the real conversion.
Mother Teresa
Image
Very less to say, I can make one Catholic or Protestant.
Mother Teresa
Image
We have no salaries. When one says he is from a good Catholic family and says he wants to help us, why should we refuse his offer?
Mother Teresa
Image
We do our work for Jesus and with Jesus. It's not a matter of praying some times and working others. We pray the work.
Mother Teresa
Image
God does not demand that I be successful. God demands that I be faithful. When facing God, results are not important. Faithfulness is what is important.
Mother Teresa
Image
You may be exhausted with work, you may even kill yourself, but unless your work is interwoven with love, it is useless. To work without love is slavery.
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
Image
Life isn't about the cherished moments it is also about the hard ones. Just knowing each day that you will arise with the bright shining sun in your eyes. And end with the cool breeze upon your face as you slowly reflect the day that passed by.
Mother Teresa
Image
A beautiful death is for people who have lived like animals to die like angels.
Mother Teresa
Image
In the silence of our hearts, God speaks of His love with our silence, we allow Jesus to love us.
Mother Teresa
Image
These concerns (for orphan children in India and elsewhere in the world) are very good, but often these same people are not concerned with the millions that are killed by the deliberate decision of their own mothers.

The other day I dreamed that I was at the gates of heaven. And St. Peter said, 'Go back to Earth, there are no slums up here.'
