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
If you try, you will find it impossible to do one great thing. You can only do many small things with great love.
Mother Teresa

My prayer for you is that you may grow in the likeness of Christ, being real carriers of God's love and that you really bring his presence, first, into your own family, then, to the next door neighbor, the street you we live in, the town we live in, the country we live, then only, in the whole world, that living example of God's presence.

Abortion is murder in the womb...A child is a gift of God. If you do not want him, give him to me.
Mother Teresa

Mother Teresa
Image
We must never be afraid to be a sign of contradiction for the world.
