Image
I think that before people were speaking much about the poor, but now more and more people are speaking to the poor. That is the great difference.
Mother Teresa
Image
It is easy to love the people far away. It is not always easy to love those close to us.
Mother Teresa
Image
Whatever you do to the least of my brethren, you do it to me.
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
If you have not the experience, ask. There is no shame in asking, but do not pretend you know when you don't.
Mother Teresa
Image
If we were humble, nothing would change us-neither praise nor discouragement. If someone were to criticize us, we would not feel discouraged. If someone would praise us, we also would not feel proud.
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
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.
Mother Teresa
Image
The more you forget yourself, the more Jesus will think of you.
Mother Teresa
Image
even God could do nothing for someone already full. You have to be completely empty to let Him in to do what He will.
Mother Teresa
Image
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
Image
Love is proved by deeds the more they cost us, the greater the proof of our love.
Mother Teresa
Image
Therefore, even if you write a letter for a blind man or you must go and sit and listen, or you take the mail for him, or you visit somebody or bring a flower to somebody... it is never too small, for this is our love of Christ in action
Mother Teresa
Image
To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.
Mother Teresa
Image
I prefer to make a mistake because I am too kind than to perform miracles without any kindness.
Mother Teresa
Image
God doesn't ask that we succeed in everything, but that we are faithful. However beautiful our work may be, let us not become attached to it. Always remain prepared to give it up, without losing your peace.
Mother Teresa
Image
I know I would not be able to work one week if it were not for that continual force coming from Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.
Mother Teresa
Image
Nobody can force you, not even the holy prophets.
Mother Teresa
Image
And if we can accept that a mother can kill her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another?
Mother Teresa
Image
Each of us is merely a small instrument all of us, after accomplishing our mission, will disappear.
