Image
Faith is more important to me than life itself because without it there would be no fullness of life.
Mother Teresa
Image
If we can not love the person whom we see, how can we love God whom we can not see?
Mother Teresa
Image
I think that we in our family don't need bombs and guns, to destroy to bring peace - just get together, love one another, bring that peace, that joy, that strength of presence of each other in the home. And we will be able to overcome all the evil that is in the world.
Mother Teresa
Image
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you Be honest and frank anyway.
Mother Teresa
Image
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

You can find Calcutta all over the world, if you have the eyes to see.
Mother Teresa
Image
There are so many religions and each one has its different ways of following God. I follow Christ: Jesus is my God, Jesus is my Spouse, Jesus is my Life, Jesus is my only Love, Jesus is my All in All Jesus is my Everything.
Mother Teresa
Image
We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.

Prayer to be fruitful must come from the heart and must be able to touch the heart of God.
Mother Teresa
Image
My prayer for you is that you come to understand and have the courage to answer Jesus' call to you with the simple word 'yes'.
Mother Teresa
Image
Love should be as natural as living and breathing.
Mother Teresa
Image
We complicate prayer as we complicate many things. It is to love Jesus with undivided love-for you, for me, for all of us. And that undivided love is put into action when we do as Jesus said, love as I have loved you
Mother Teresa
Image
You and I, we are the Church, no? We have to share with our people. Suffering today is because people are hoarding, not giving, not sharing. Jesus made it very clear. Whatever you do to the least of my brethren, you do it to me. Give a glass of water, you give it to me. Receive a little child, you receive me. Clear.
Mother Teresa
Image
Once that living love is destroyed by contraception, abortion follows very easily.
Mother Teresa
Image
Do not wait for leaders do it alone, person to person.
Mother Teresa
Image
If I look at the mass I will never act.
Mother Teresa
Image
Real prayer is union with God, a union as vital as that of the vine to the branch.
Mother Teresa
