Quote

You may be exhausted with work, you may even kill yourself, but unless your work is interwoven with love, it is useless. To work without love is slavery.

Whatever religion we are, we must pray together.
Mother Teresa
Image
There are others who take up that (liberating) role. I have no time to spend for that.
Mother Teresa
Image
Holiness is not a luxury for the few it is not just for some people. It is meant for you and for me and for all of us. It is a simple duty, because if we learn to love, we learn to be holy.
Mother Teresa
Image
Follow the path of serenity. Why lose your temper if by losing it you offend God, trouble your neighbor and in the end have to set things aright anyway?
Mother Teresa
Image
The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.
Mother Teresa
Image
I must be willing to give whatever it takes to do good to others. This requires that I be willing to give until it hurts. Otherwise, there is no true love in me, and I bring injustice, not peace, to those around me.
Mother Teresa
Image
Let us not love by words alone, but let us love until it hurts.
Mother Teresa
Image
In the silence of our hearts, God speaks of His love with our silence, we allow Jesus to love us.
Mother Teresa
Image
Don't wait to be led...do it yourself, person to person.
Mother Teresa
Image
Prayer enlarges the heart until it is capable of containing God's gift of Himself. Ask and seek and you heart will grow big enough to receive Him and to keep Him as your own. Wherever God has put you, that is your vocation. It is not what we do but how much love we put into it.
Mother Teresa
Image
People everywhere are the same they are all people to be loved. They are all hungry for love.
Mother Teresa
Image
The child is the beauty of God present in the world, that greatest gift to a family
Mother Teresa
Image
Even if I wanted, I cannot do anything. When they die, we always send for their co-religionists. Muslims take the Muslim's body to bury it, Hindus come and take away the dead to be cremated and Christians come and bury their dead.
Mother Teresa
Image
Once we take our eyes away from ourselves, from our interests, from our own rights, privileges, ambitions - then they will become clear to see Jesus around us.
Mother Teresa
Image
Spread your love wherever you go.
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
By praying ... If you want to pray better, you must pray more.
Mother Teresa
Image
Each time anyone comes in contact with us, they must become different and better people because of having met us. We must radiate God's love.
Mother Teresa
Image
Works of love are always to accept and respect others.
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.'
