If we can not love the person whom we see, how can we love God whom we can not see?
Mother Teresa
Image
Give your hands to serve and your hearts to love.
Mother Teresa
Image
We must love one another as God loves each one of us. To be able to love, we need a clean heart. Prayer is what gives us a clean heart. The fruit of prayer is a deepening of faith and the fruit of faith is love. The fruit of love is service, which is compassion in action.
Mother Teresa
Image
Please choose the way of peace.. In the short term there may be winners and losers in this war that we all dread. But that never can, nor never will justify the suffering, pain and loss of life your weapons will cause.
Mother Teresa
Image
Life is not worth living unless it is lived for others.
Mother Teresa
Image
Peace begins with a smile. I will never understand all the good that a simple smile can accomplish.
Mother Teresa
Image
Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.
Mother Teresa
Image
Faith is a gift of God. Without it there would be no life. And our work, to be fruitful, and to be all for God, and to be beautiful, has to be built of faith. Faith in Christ who has said, I was hungry, I was naked, I was sick, and I was homeless, and you ministered to me! On these words of His all our work is based.
Mother Teresa
Image
As for me, the silence and the emptiness is so great, that I look and do not see, — Listen and do not hear — the tongue moves but does not speak … I want you to pray for me — that I let Him have free hand.
Mother Teresa
Image
A life not lived for others is not a life.
Mother Teresa
Image
You can and you must expect suffering.
Mother Teresa
Image
I have come to you, Jesus, to take your touch before I begin my day. Let your eyes rest upon my eyes for a while let me take to my work the assurance of your friendship. Fill my mind to last through the desert of noise. Let your blessed sunshine fill the peaks of my thoughts. And give me strength for those who need me.
Mother Teresa

…Spread your love everywhere you go.
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.
Mother Teresa
Image
Stay very close to Our Lady. If you do this, you can do great things for God and the good of people.
Mother Teresa
Image
I feel called to help individuals, to love each human being. I never think in terms of crowds in general but in terms of persons. Were I to think about crowds, I would never begin anything.
Mother Teresa
Image
Prayer is as necessary as the air, as the blood in our bodies, as anything to keep us alive-to keep us alive to the grace of God.
Mother Teresa
Image
[West Bengal state] Government has decided that non-criminal persons should not be kept in these kind of places and asked us to take care of them. They should live in an atmosphere of love. They need to be loved.
Mother Teresa
Image
Our Father, here I am, at your disposal, your child, to use me to continue your loving the world, by giving Jesus to me and through me, to each other that we allow Jesus to love in us and through us with the love with which His Father loves him.

A beautiful death is for people who have lived like animals to die like angels.
