Quote

The future is not in our hands. We have no power over it. We can act only today. We have a sentence in our Constitution that says: 'We will allow the good God to make plans for the future - for yesterday has gone, tomorrow has not yet come and we have only today to make Him known, loved and served.' So we do not worry about the future.

If you want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.
Mother Teresa
Image
Hungry not only for bread - but hungry for love. Naked not only for clothing - but naked of human dignity and respect. Homeless not only for want of a home of bricks - but homeless because of rejection.

How sad it is when someone comes to you looking for Jesus and all they see is you.

The beginning of prayer is silence.
Mother Teresa

The more you have, the more you are occupied, the less you give. But the less you have the more free you are. Poverty for us is a freedom. It is not mortification, a penance. It is joyful freedom. There is no television here, no this, no that. But we are perfectly happy.

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.

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

Love means to be willing to give until it hurts.

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight build it anyway.
Mother Teresa

We must love prayer. It widens the heart to the point of making it capable of containing the gift that God makes of himself. Ask and seek, and your heart will be widened to welcome him and to keep him within itself.
Mother Teresa
Image
It is not the magnitude of our actions, but the amount of love that is put into them that matters.
Mother Teresa
Image
We have very little, so we have nothing to be preoccupied with. The more you have, the more you are occupied, the less you give. But the less you have, the more free you are.
Mother Teresa
Image
We must become holy, not because we want to feel holy, but because Christ must be able to live his life fully in us.
Mother Teresa
Image
One thing I ask you to do, you people who have the pen in your hand, allow God to use you so that you never write anything that will destroy, that will hurt, but always take the trouble to write something beautiful, to help the people to see better, to love better, to come closer... to each other.
Mother Teresa
Image
Keep the joy of loving God in your heart and share this joy with all you meet especially your family. Be holy let us pray.
Mother Teresa
Image
To fear is to expect punishment. To love is to know we are immersed not in darkness, but in light.

I can't help thousands, I can help only the one who stands before me.
