Quote

Love has a hem to her garment that reaches to the very dust. It sweeps the stains from the streets and lanes, and because it can, it must.

Image
I prefer to make a mistake because I am too kind than to perform miracles without any kindness.
Mother Teresa
Image
Keep your heart pure. A pure heart is necessary to see God in each other. If you see God in each other, there is love for each other, then there is peace.
Mother Teresa
Image
The more you have, the more you are occupied, the less you give.
Mother Teresa
Image
The first step to becoming is to will it.
Mother Teresa
Image
Let us use love and compassion. Peace begins with a smile. Smile five times a day at someone you don't really want to smile at at all. Do it for peace.
Mother Teresa
Image
We must know that we have been created for greater things, not just to be a number in the world, not just to go for diplomas and degrees, this work and that work. We have been created in order to love and to be loved.
Mother Teresa
Image
The work we do is only our love for Jesus in action...If we pray the work...if we do it to Jesus, if we do it for Jesus, if we do it with Jesus...that's what makes us content.
Mother Teresa

Real prayer is union with God, a union as vital as that of the vine to the branch.
Mother Teresa
Image
The fullness of our heart is expressed in our eyes, in our touch, in what we write, in what we say, in the way we walk, the way we receive, the way we serve.
Mother Teresa
Image
Thank God we don't serve God with our feelings, otherwise I don't know where I would be. - Pray for me.
Mother Teresa

God does not create poverty we do, because we do not share.
Mother Teresa
Image
You and I, we are the Church, no? We have to share with our people. Suffering today is because people are hoarding, not giving, not sharing. Jesus made it very clear. Whatever you do to the least of my brethren, you do it to me. Give a glass of water, you give it to me. Receive a little child, you receive me. Clear.
Mother Teresa
Image
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
Image
Souls of prayer are souls of great silence
Mother Teresa
Image
I have told everybody that what we are doing is for the love of God and works of love are always to accept and respect others.
Mother Teresa
Image
In the end, dear friend, it is always between us and God, not between us and them.
Mother Teresa
Image
God loves the world through us.
Mother Teresa
Image
There are others who take up that (liberating) role. I have no time to spend for that.
Mother Teresa
Image
We must make our homes centers of compassion and forgive endlessly.
Mother Teresa
Image
To be alone with Jesus in adoration and intimate union with Him is the Greatest Gift of Love - the tender love of Our Father in Heaven.
