More quotes by Mother Teresa
I always begin my prayer in silence, for it is in the silence of the heart that God speaks. God is the friend of silence-we need to listen to God because it's not what we say but what He says to us and through us that matters.
Mother Teresa
Living intensely each present day means letting Christ dwell within you. His words are so clear: Today I would like to enter your home.
Mother Teresa
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
Never worry about numbers. Help one person at a time and always start with the person nearest you.

Mother Teresa
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
You can and you must expect suffering.
Mother Teresa
A smile is the beginning of peace.
Mother Teresa
Let us love one another as God loves each one of us. And where does this love begin? In our own home. How does it begin? By praying together.
Mother Teresa
We realize that what we are accomplishing is a drop in the ocean. But if this drop were not in the ocean, it would be missed.
Mother Teresa
If you are looking for vocations, as a community have adoration every day. Once the Missionaries of Charity started daily adoration, their vocations doubled
Mother Teresa
There are many people who can do big things, but there are very few people who will do the small things.
Mother Teresa
We must pray to Jesus to give us that tenderness of the Eucharist.
