I picked up a man from the street, and he was eaten up alive from worms. Nobody could stand him, and he was smelling so badly. I went to him to clean him, and he asked, 'Why do you do this?' I said, 'Because I love you.'

More quotes by Mother Teresa
Once we take our eyes away from ourselves, from our interests, from our own rights, privileges, ambitions - then they will become clear to see Jesus around us.
Mother Teresa
Abortion kills twice. It kills the body of the baby and it kills the conscience of the mother. Abortion is profoundly anti-women. Three quarters of its victims are women: Half the babies and all the mothers.
Mother Teresa
Let us not use bombs and guns to overcome the world. 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. So let us radiate peace...and extinguish in the world and in the hearts of all men all hatred and love for power.
Mother Teresa
The point is to do something, however small, and show you care through your actions by giving your time.
Mother Teresa
Holiness does not consist in doing extraordinary things. It consists in accepting, with a smile, what Jesus sends us. It consists in accepting and following the will of God.
Mother Teresa
It is a just retribution for improper sexual misconduct
Mother Teresa
Love is not patronizing and charity isn't about pity, it is about love. Charity and love are the same -- with charity you give love, so don't just give money but reach out your hand instead.
Mother Teresa
I can do only one thing, like a little dog follow closely the Master's footsteps. Pray that I be a cheerful dog.
Mother Teresa
If you are hungry to hear the voice of God, you will hear. To hear, you have to cut out all other things.
Mother Teresa
Life is beauty, admire it.
Mother Teresa
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.
Mother Teresa
Put yourself completely under the influence of Jesus, so that he may think his thoughts in your mind, do his work through your hands, for you will be all-powerful with him to strengthen you.
Mother Teresa
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
A beautiful death is for people who have lived like animals to die like angels.
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.
Mother Teresa
We cannot separate our lives from the Eucharist the moment we do, something breaks. People ask, 'Where do the sisters get the joy and the energy to do what they are doing?' The Eucharist involves more than just receiving it also involves satisfying the hunger of Christ. He says, 'Come to Me.' He is hungry for souls.
Mother Teresa
Words which do not give the light of Christ increase the darkness.
Mother Teresa
Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.
Mother Teresa
Joy is very infectious therefore, be always full of joy!
Mother Teresa
The other day I dreamed that I was at the gates of heaven. And St. Peter said, 'Go back to Earth, there are no slums up here.'
Mother Teresa
