More quotes by Mother Teresa

Image
Prayer is the mortar that holds our house together.
Mother Teresa
Image
If I look at the mass I will never act.
Mother Teresa
Image
Jesus has made Himself the Bread of Life to give us life. Night and day, He is there. If you really want to grow in love, come back to the Eucharist, come back to that Adoration.
Mother Teresa
Image
God speaks in the silence of the heart. Listening is the beginning of prayer.
Mother Teresa
Image
What you are doing I cannot do, what I'm doing you cannot do, but together we are doing something beautiful for God, and this is the greatness of God's love for us-To give us the opportunity to become holy through the works of love that we do because holiness is not the luxury of the few.
Mother Teresa
Image
Faith is more important to me than life itself because without it there would be no fullness of life.
Mother Teresa
Image
God loves the world through us.
Mother Teresa
Image
There are many people who can do big things, but there are very few people who will do the small things.
Mother Teresa
Image
We must free ourselves to be filled by God. Even God cannot fill what is full.
Mother Teresa
Image
You can and you must expect suffering.
Mother Teresa
Image
It is easy to love the people far away. It is not always easy to love those close to us. It is easier to give a cup of rice to relieve hunger than to relieve the loneliness and pain of someone unloved in our own home. Bring love into your home for this is where our love for each other must start.
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
Let's do something beautiful for God.
Mother Teresa
Image
If I'd never have picked up the first person, I'd never have picked up the 42,000 in Calcutta.
Mother Teresa
Image
I try to give to the poor people for love what the rich could get for money.
Mother Teresa
Image
The family that prays together stays together, and if they stay together they will love one another as God has loved each one of them. And works of love are always works of peace.
Mother Teresa
Image
What you do to these men on California's Death Row, you do to God.
Mother Teresa
Image
O God, how easily I make them happy! Give me strength to be always the light of their lives and so lead them to You!
Mother Teresa
Image
I don't think there is anyone who needs God's help as much as I do. Sometimes I feel so helpless and weak. I think that is why God uses me. Because I cannot depend on my own strength, I rely on Him twenty-four hours a day.
Mother Teresa
Image
I have come to realize more and more that the greatest disease and the greatest suffering is to be unwanted, unloved, uncared for, to be shunned by everybody, to be just nobody.
