Be faithful in the little things.
Mother Teresa
Image
Let us not love by words alone, but let us love until it hurts.
Mother Teresa
Image
I can't help thousands, I can help only the one who stands before me.
Mother Teresa
Image
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
Image
Whatever our religion, we know that if we really want to love, we must first learn to forgive before anything else.
Mother Teresa
Image
You haven't done the will of God when you have done it miserably.
Mother Teresa
Image
Nobody can convert you except God.
Mother Teresa
Image
I pray that you will understand the words of Jesus, “Love one another as I have loved you.” Ask yourself “How has he loved me? Do I really love others in the same way?” Unless this love is among us, we can kill ourselves with work and it will only be work, not love. Work without love is slavery.
Mother Teresa
Image
The joy of the presence of Jesus, you must be able to give wherever you go. But you cannot give what you don't have. That's why you need a pure heart, a pure heart that you will receive as a fruit of your prayer, as a fruit of your oneness with Christ.
Mother Teresa
Image
It is not the magnitude of our actions, but the amount of love that is put into them that matters.
Mother Teresa
Image
I am not sure exactly what heaven will be like, but I know that when we die and it comes time for God to judge us, he will not ask, 'How many good things have you done in your life?' rather he will ask, 'How much love did you put into what you did?'
Mother Teresa
Image
It is not possible to engage in the direct apostolate without being a soul of prayer. We must be aware of oneness with Christ, as he was aware of oneness with his Father. Our activity is truly apostolic only insofar as we permit him to work in us and through us with his power, with his desire, with his love.
Mother Teresa
Image
When you love till it hurts, there will be no hurt left, just love.
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
I was once asked why I don't participate in anti-war demonstrations. I said that I will never do that, but as soon as you have a pro-peace rally, I'll be there.
Mother Teresa
Image
Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls.
Mother Teresa
Image
The problem with the world is that we draw the circle of our family too small.
Mother Teresa
Image
When a poor person dies I want then to die in the arms of somebody who loves them. I want them to be able to look for the last time into the eyes of somebody who cares for them
Mother Teresa
Image
The more we can give in our silent prayer, the more we can give in our active life.
Mother Teresa
Image
In the end, dear friend, it is always between us and God, not between us and them.
Mother Teresa
