God does not create poverty we do, because we do not share.
Mother Teresa
Image
There is a light in this world, a healing spirit more powerful than any darkness we may encounter.
Mother Teresa
Image
People crave attention and appreciation more than they do bread.
Mother Teresa
Image
I never looked at the masses as my responsibility. I can only love one person at a time. So I began. I picked up one person. Maybe if I didn't pick up that one person, I wouldn't have picked up forty-two thousand.
Mother Teresa
Image
There are only two ways: either we love-and love in action is service - or we put hatred into action and destroy.
Mother Teresa
Image
Do we know our poor people? Do we know the poor in our house, in our family? Perhaps they are not hungry for a piece of bread. Perhaps our children, husband, wife, are not hungry, or naked, or dispossessed, but are you sure there is no one there who feels unwanted, deprived of affection?

My prayer for you is that you may grow in the likeness of Christ, being real carriers of God's love and that you really bring his presence, first, into your own family, then, to the next door neighbor, the street you we live in, the town we live in, the country we live, then only, in the whole world, that living example of God's presence.

The woman is at the heart of the home. Let us pray that we women realize the reason for our existence: to love and be loved and through this love become instruments of peace in the world.
Mother Teresa
Image
If you are humble nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace, because you know what you are.
Mother Teresa
Image
Whatever religion we are, we must pray together.
Mother Teresa
Image
I trust that God wouldn't give me more than I can handle. I just wish he didn't have such faith in me.
Mother Teresa
Image
Why can't there be love that never gets tired?
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
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
By praying ... If you want to pray better, you must pray more.
Mother Teresa
Image
Mary, my dearest Mother, give me your heart so beautiful, so pure, so immaculate, your heart so full of love and humility, that I may be able to receive Jesus in the Bread of Life, love Him as you loved Hitn and serve Him in the distressing disguise of the poorest of the poor.
Mother Teresa

Brothers, Fathers and Sisters - all of us in the Missionaries of Charity are doing the same. All of us have been created by God to love and to be loved. We are involved in this work. When you do that, there is joy, unity and love.
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.
Mother Teresa

You can find Calcutta anywhere in the world. You only need two eyes to see. Everywhere in the world there are people that are not loved, people that are not wanted nor desired, people that no one will help, people that are pushed away or forgotten. And this is the greatest poverty.
