More quotes by Mother Teresa

Image
Anybody who helps the poor is delighted. So naturally, they (critics) are not very happy with us.
Mother Teresa
Image
People are hungry for God. What [a] terrible meeting [it] would be with our neighbour if we give them only ourselves.
Mother Teresa
Image
You can find Calcutta anywhere in the world. You only need two eyes to see. Everywhere in the world there are people that are not loved, people that are not wanted nor desired, people that no one will help, people that are pushed away or forgotten. And this is the greatest poverty.
Mother Teresa
Image
It is easy to love the people far away. It is not always easy to love those close to us.
Mother Teresa
Image
The world today is hungry Not only for bread But hungry for love Hungry to be wanted, Hungry to be loved.

I feel that the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a war against the child, a direct killing of the innocent child, murder by the mother herself.
Mother Teresa
Image
For me, life is the most beautiful gift of God to mankind, therefore people and nations who destroy life by abortion and euthanasia are the poorest. I do not say legal or illegal, but I think that no human hand should be raised to kill life, since life is God's life in us, even in an unborn child.

My secret is simple -- I pray.
Mother Teresa
Image
Behold , I have graven you upon the palm of my hand, that is what Jesus came on earth to do: to proclaim, to give us the Good News that God loves us, that we are precious to Him.
Mother Teresa
Image
We are taught from the very first moment to discover Christ under the distressing disguixe of the poor, the sick, the outcasts. Christ presents Himself to us under every disguise: the dying, the paralytic, the leper, the invalid, the orphan.
Mother Teresa
Image
From the moment a soul has the grace to know God, she must seek.
Mother Teresa
Image
I must be willing to give whatever it takes to do good to others. This requires that I be willing to give until it hurts. Otherwise, there is no true love in me, and I bring injustice, not peace, to those around me.
Mother Teresa
Image
I have never had clarity what I have always had is trust. So I will pray that you will trust God.
Mother Teresa
Image
Holiness is not a luxury for the few it is not just for some people. It is meant for you and for me and for all of us. It is a simple duty, because if we learn to love, we learn to be holy.

All that we need to know all the wisdom of the cosmos we will find in our own heart

If you are Catholic, and some other person comes to you seeking guidance, naturally you take him straight away to someone who can show him God's love.
