Be humble like Mary so that you can be holy like Jesus
Mother Teresa
Image
I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.

Every country I love and I am a child of God to love the humans.

Because I cannot rely on myself, I rely on Him, twenty-four hours a day.
Mother Teresa

Let's not pray long, drawn-out prayers, but let's pray short ones full of love. Let us pray on behalf of those who do not pray. Let us remember, if we want to be able to love, we must be able to pray!
Mother Teresa

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.
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.

Keep Giving Jesus to the people, not by words but by your example, by being in love with Jesus, by radiating holiness and spreading his fragrance of love everywhere you go. Just keep the joy of Jesus as your strength, be happy and at peace.

Where was Mother Teresa's Jesus? He was in the Bible, in the church, in her prayer, in the Eucharist, in her sisters, in the heart of everyone she met, and especially in the poorest of the poor and the lowest of the low. Jesus was in disguise in each one of them. Jesus was behind the foundation of her order. Jesus was behind all that she did.

We never had any problem from them. Jyoti Basu has been very kind to us. He was the one who told me Mother, please do something for these (jail) girls. He has been helpful and always accessible to us over phone. We also never had any problem whenever we wanted to meet him.

I prefer to make a mistake because I am too kind than to perform miracles without any kindness.
