More quotes by Mother Teresa

Image
Of all the diseases I have known, loneliness is the worst.
Mother Teresa
Image
A clean heart can see God, can speak to God, and can see the love of God in others.
Mother Teresa
Image
Prayer is as necessary as the air, as the blood in our bodies, as anything to keep us alive-to keep us alive to the grace of God.
Mother Teresa
Image
It is not possible to engage in the direct apostolate without being a soul of prayer. We must be aware of oneness with Christ, as he was aware of oneness with his Father. Our activity is truly apostolic only insofar as we permit him to work in us and through us with his power, with his desire, with his love.
Mother Teresa
Image
I try to give to the poor people for love what the rich could get for money.
Mother Teresa
Image
Do you want to do something beautiful for God? There is a person who needs you. This is your chance.
Mother Teresa
Image
I see God in every human being. When I wash the leper's wounds I feel I am nursing the Lord himself. Is it not a beautiful experience?
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
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
Life is a challenge, we must take it.
Mother Teresa
Image
Many people (who go to her as volunteers) have found peace, joy and unity in their families by helping the poor.
Mother Teresa
Image
A sacrifice to be real must cost, must hurt, must empty ourselves.
Mother Teresa
Image
Failure is merely feedback that there is something blocking the path of the emergence and expansion of the greatest version of yourself.
Mother Teresa
Image
You can find Calcutta all over the world, if you have the eyes to see.
Mother Teresa
Image
Look at the cross and you will know what one soul means to Jesus.
Mother Teresa
Image
Any country that accepts abortion is the poorest of the poor
Mother Teresa
Image
We think we do so much for the poor, but it is they who make us rich
Mother Teresa
Image
My secret is simple -- I pray.
Mother Teresa
Image
We must love one another as God loves each one of us. To be able to love, we need a clean heart. Prayer is what gives us a clean heart. The fruit of prayer is a deepening of faith and the fruit of faith is love. The fruit of love is service, which is compassion in action.
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
