Image
Keep your heart pure. A pure heart is necessary to see God in each other. If you see God in each other, there is love for each other, then there is peace.
Mother Teresa
Image
I have said often, and I am sure of it, that the greatest destroyer of peace in the world today is abortion. If a mother can kill her own child, what is there to stop you and me from killing each other? The only one who has the right to take life is the The One who has created it.
Mother Teresa
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
Holiness consists in doing God’s will joyfully. Faithfulness makes saints. The spiritual life is a union with Jesus: the divine and the human giving themselves to each other. The only thing Jesus asks of us is to give ourselves to him, in total poverty and total self-forgetfulness.
Mother Teresa

If people spent one hour per week in Eucharistic Adoration, abortion would be ended
Mother Teresa
Image
There should be less talk. . . . What do you do then? Take a broom and clean someone's house. That says enough.
Mother Teresa
Image
When Christ said: I was hungry and you fed me, he didn't mean only the hunger for bread and for food he also meant the hunger to be loved. Jesus himself experienced this loneliness.

[My mother tongue is] Albanian. But, I am equally fluent in Bengali (language of Calcutta) and English.
Mother Teresa
Image
Love cannot remain by itself - it has no meaning. Love has to be put into action and that action is service.
Mother Teresa
Image
If you ever feel distressed during your day - call upon our Lady - just say this simple prayer: 'Mary, Mother of Jesus, please be a mother to me now.' I must admit - this prayer has never failed me.
Mother Teresa
Image
Let me thus praise You in the way You love best: by shining on those around me. Let me preach You without preaching, not by words, but by my example, by the catching force, the sympathetic influence of what I do, the evident fullness of the love my heart bears to You. Amen.
Mother Teresa
Image
Let us make one point, that we meet each other with a smile, when it is difficult to smile. Smile at each other, make time for each other in your family.
Mother Teresa
Image
Life is an opportunity, benefit from it. Life is beauty, admire it. Life is a dream, realize it
Mother Teresa
Image
Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.
Mother Teresa
Image
The highest form of worship is to find the least among you and treat them like Jesus.
Mother Teresa
Image
Love begins by taking care of the closest ones - the ones at home.
Mother Teresa
Image
Never worry about numbers. Help one person at a time and always start with the person nearest you.
Mother Teresa
Image
Holiness is doing God's will with a smile.

It takes a checkbook to change the world
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.
