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
Religion has nothing to do with compassion it is our love for God that is the main thing because we have all been created for the sole purpose to love and be loved.
Mother Teresa
Image
Everything starts from prayer. Without asking God for love, we cannot possess love and still less are we able to give it to others. Just as people today are speaking so much about the poor but they do not know or talk to the poor, we too cannot talk so much about prayer and yet not know how to pray.
Mother Teresa
Image
It is much easier to conquer a country than to conquer ourselves.
Mother Teresa
Image
Let us preach you, Dear Jesus, without preaching.... not by words but by our example.
Mother Teresa
Image
God doesn't ask that we succeed in everything, but that we are faithful. However beautiful our work may be, let us not become attached to it. Always remain prepared to give it up, without losing your peace.
Mother Teresa
Image
We need prayer to understand God's love for us. If we really mean to pray and want to pray we must be ready to do it now. These are only the first steps towards prayer but if we never make the first step with determination, we will not reach the last one: the presence of God
Mother Teresa
Image
Jesus, I love you. Jesus, I love you.
Mother Teresa
Image
Love is proved by deeds the more they cost us, the greater the proof of our love.
Mother Teresa
Image
There are many people who can do big things, but there are very few people who will do the small things.
Mother Teresa
Image
I do not pray for success, I ask for faithfulness.
Mother Teresa
Image
If we really want to love, if we really want to live, we must love until it hurts . . . No Rotarian whose motto is Service Above Self, I think, should call himself a Rotarian if he does not make time to serve . . . If we love, we begin to serve
Mother Teresa
Image
Of all the diseases I have known, loneliness is the worst.
Mother Teresa
Image
For me, life is the most beautiful gift of God to mankind, therefore people and nations who destroy life by abortion and euthanasia are the poorest. I do not say legal or illegal, but I think that no human hand should be raised to kill life, since life is God's life in us, even in an unborn child.
Mother Teresa
Image
Let us touch the dying, the poor, the lonely and the unwanted according to the graces we have received and let us not be ashamed or slow to do the humble work.
Mother Teresa
Image
How much love did you put into what you did?
Mother Teresa
Image
It is a just retribution for improper sexual misconduct
Mother Teresa
Image
There are two victims in every abortion: a dead baby and a dead conscience.
Mother Teresa
Image
The family that prays together stays together, and if they stay together they will love one another as God has loved each one of them. And works of love are always works of peace.
Mother Teresa
Image
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
