Quote

I have come to realize more and more that the greatest disease and the greatest suffering is to be unwanted, unloved, uncared for, to be shunned by everybody, to be just nobody.

Image
We cannot condemn or judge or pass words that will hurt people. We don't know in what way God is appearing to that soul and what God is drawing that soul to therefore, who are we to condemn anybody?
Mother Teresa
Image
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.'
Mother Teresa
Image
A clean heart is a free heart. A free heart can love Christ with an undivided love in chastity, convinced that nothing and nobody will separate it from his love. Purity, chastity, and virginity created a special beauty in Mary that attracted God's attention. He showed his great love for the world by giving Jesus to her.
Mother Teresa
Image
Holiness consists in doing God’s will joyfully. Faithfulness makes saints. The spiritual life is a union with Jesus: the divine and the human giving themselves to each other. The only thing Jesus asks of us is to give ourselves to him, in total poverty and total self-forgetfulness.
Mother Teresa
Image
We the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much, with so little, for so long, we are now qualified to do anything, with nothing.
Mother Teresa
Image
Get to know the poor in your country. Love them. Serve them.
Mother Teresa
Image
It is only by frequent deaths of ourselves and our self-centered desires that we can come to live more fully.
Mother Teresa
Image
When you look at the Sacred Host you understand how much Jesus loves you now.
Mother Teresa
Image
You have to do that here in your country. You must come to know the poor. Maybe our people here have material things, everything, but I think that if we all look into our own homes, how difficult we find it sometimes to smile at each other, and that the smile is the beginning of love.
Mother Teresa
Image
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
Image
Life isn't about the cherished moments it is also about the hard ones. Just knowing each day that you will arise with the bright shining sun in your eyes. And end with the cool breeze upon your face as you slowly reflect the day that passed by.
Mother Teresa
Image
There are others who take up that (liberating) role. I have no time to spend for that.
Mother Teresa
Image
The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.
Mother Teresa

Holy Angels, our advocates, our brothers, our counselors, our defenders, our enlighteners, our friends, our guides, our helpers, our intercessors - Pray for us.

Holiness consists of doing the will of God with a smile.
Mother Teresa
Image
You who have received so much love, share it with others. Love others the way that God has loved you, with tenderness.
Mother Teresa
Image
I always begin my prayer in silence, for it is in the silence of the heart that God speaks. God is the friend of silence-we need to listen to God because it's not what we say but what He says to us and through us that matters.
Mother Teresa
Image
People everywhere are the same they are all people to be loved. They are all hungry for love.
Mother Teresa

When you love till it hurts, there will be no hurt left, just love.
