Silence gives us a new outlook on everything. We need silence to be able to touch souls. The essential thing is not what we say but what God says to us and through us.
Mother Teresa
Image
Do you want to be great? Pick up a broom and sweep the floor.
Mother Teresa
Image
Many people (who go to her as volunteers) have found peace, joy and unity in their families by helping the poor.
Mother Teresa
Image
In the end, dear friend, it is always between us and God, not between us and them.
Mother Teresa
Image
Loneliness is the leprosy of the modern world.
Mother Teresa
Image
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.
Mother Teresa
Image
The trees, the flowers, the plants grow in silence. The stars, the sun, the moon move in silence. Silence gives us a new perspective.
Mother Teresa
Image
We must become holy, not because we want to feel holy, but because Christ must be able to live his life fully in us.
Mother Teresa
Image
The more we empty ourselves, the more room we give God to fill us.
Mother Teresa
Image
I see Jesus in every human being. I say to myself, this is hungry Jesus, I must feed him. This is sick Jesus. This one has leprosy or gangrene I must wash him and tend to him. I serve becuase I love Jesus.

Don't wait to be led...do it yourself, person to person.

Spread your love wherever you go.

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.
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
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
Have a great compassion for people. To be able to have a heart full of compassion, we need to pray. Especially be kind, be loving to the poor. We think we do so much for the poor, but it is they who make us rich. We are in debt to them. Do you want to do something beautiful for God? There is a person who needs you. This is your chance.
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 have no salaries. When one says he is from a good Catholic family and says he wants to help us, why should we refuse his offer?

It takes a checkbook to change the world

When you have nothing left but God,you have more than enough to start over again.
