Quote

Mary, my dearest Mother, give me your heart so beautiful, so pure, so immaculate, your heart so full of love and humility, that I may be able to receive Jesus in the Bread of Life, love Him as you loved Hitn and serve Him in the distressing disguise of the poorest of the poor.

More quotes by Mother Teresa

Image
I picked up a man from the street, and he was eaten up alive from worms. Nobody could stand him, and he was smelling so badly. I went to him to clean him, and he asked, 'Why do you do this?' I said, 'Because I love you.'

Even when the urgent is good, the good can keep you from your best, keep you from your unique contribution, if you let it.
Mother Teresa
Image
God doesn't require us to succeed, he only requires that you try.
Mother Teresa
Image
I trust that God wouldn't give me more than I can handle. I just wish he didn't have such faith in me.
Mother Teresa
Image
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.

Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being's entitlement by virtue of his humanity.
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
What is called generosity is usually only the vanity of giving we enjoy the vanity more. If you can't feed a hundred people, then just feed one.
Mother Teresa

It is much easier to conquer a country than to conquer ourselves.
Mother Teresa

If I look at the mass I will never act.
Mother Teresa
Image
I pray that you will understand the words of Jesus, “Love one another as I have loved you.” Ask yourself “How has he loved me? Do I really love others in the same way?” Unless this love is among us, we can kill ourselves with work and it will only be work, not love. Work without love is slavery.

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.

It is only by frequent deaths of ourselves and our self-centered desires that we can come to live more fully.
Mother Teresa

If you really love one another, you will not be able to avoid making sacrifices.

Suffering, if it is accepted together, borne together, is joy.
Mother Teresa

Though we are involved in social work, our goal is to be contemplatives at the heart of the world. We are with Jesus twenty-four hours a day. We do everything for Jesus. We do it all unto Jesus.
