More quotes by 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
The Cross will be for us as it was for Christ: proof of the greatest love.
Mother Teresa
There is only one God and He is God to all therefore it is important that everyone is seen as equal before God. I've always said we should help a Hindu become a better Hindu, a Muslim become a better Muslim, a Catholic become a better Catholic.
Mother Teresa
As for me, the silence and the emptiness is so great, that I look and do not see, — Listen and do not hear — the tongue moves but does not speak … I want you to pray for me — that I let Him have free hand.
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
At the heart of silence is prayer. At the heart of prayer is faith. At the heart of faith is life. At the heart of life is service.

Mother Teresa
Anybody who helps the poor is delighted. So naturally, they (critics) are not very happy with us.
Mother Teresa
Love has no meaning if it isn't shared. We have been created for greater things - to love and to be loved... To love a person without any conditions, without any expectations. Small things, done in great love, bring joy and peace. To love, it is necessary to give. To give, it is necessary to be free from selfishness.
Mother Teresa
But I feel that the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a war against the child, a direct killing of the innocent child, murder by the mother herself.
Mother Teresa
Gandhi felt fascinated at knowing Christ. He met Christians, and felt let down.
Mother Teresa
The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.
Mother Teresa
Behold , I have graven you upon the palm of my hand, that is what Jesus came on earth to do: to proclaim, to give us the Good News that God loves us, that we are precious to Him.
Mother Teresa
Be kind to each other. It is better to commit faults with gentleness than to work miracles with unkindness.
Mother Teresa
Peace begins wilt smile.

Our progress in holiness depends on God and ourselves - on God's grace and on our will to be holy.

There are only two ways: either we love-and love in action is service - or we put hatred into action and destroy.
