Image
Life is an opportunity, benefit from it. Life is beauty, admire it. Life is a dream, realize it
Mother Teresa
Image
What we say does not matter - only what God says to souls through us.
Mother Teresa
Image
Maybe if I didn't pick up that one person, I wouldn't have picked up forty-two thousand.
Mother Teresa
Image
Spread love everywhere you go first of all in your house. Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next door neighbor. Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier.
Mother Teresa
Image
Silence of the heart is necessary so you can hear God everywhere - in the closing of the door, in the person who needs you, in the birds that sing, in the flowers, in the animals.
Mother Teresa
Image
Love cannot remain by itself - it has no meaning. Love has to be put into action, and that action is service. Whatever form we are, able or disabled, rich or poor, it is not how much we do, but how much love we put in the doing a lifelong sharing of love with others.
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
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
Doctors can heal the body, but it is music that uplifts the spirit.
Mother Teresa
Image
Suffering, if it is accepted together, borne together, is joy.
Mother Teresa
Image
If I look at the mass I will never act.
Mother Teresa
Image
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
Image
We must never get into the habit of being preoccupied with the future. There is no reason to do so. God is there.
Mother Teresa
Image
We may not be able to give much but we can always give the joy that springs in a heart that is in LOVE WITH GOD.
Mother Teresa
Image
We do not need guns and bombs to bring peace, we need love and compassion.
Mother Teresa
Image
I think that we in our family don't need bombs and guns, to destroy to bring peace - just get together, love one another, bring that peace, that joy, that strength of presence of each other in the home. And we will be able to overcome all the evil that is in the world.
Mother Teresa
Image
Give the world the best you have and you may get hurt. Give the world your best anyway.
Mother Teresa
Image
I feel that the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a war against the child, a direct killing of the innocent child, murder by the mother herself.
Mother Teresa
Image
I try to give to the poor people for love what the rich could get for money. No, I wouldn't touch a leper for a thousand pounds yet I willingly cure him for the love of God.
Mother Teresa
Image
Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration with exposition needs a great push. People ask me: 'What will convert America and save the world?' My answer is prayer. What we need is for every parish to come before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament in holy hours of prayer.
