More quotes by Mother Teresa
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
I have never been in a war before, but I have seen famine and death. I was asking (myself) what do they feel when they do this? I don't understand it. They are all children of God. Why do they do it. I don't understand.
Mother Teresa
Do you want to do something beautiful for God? There is a person who needs you. This is your chance.
Mother Teresa
The woman is at the heart of the home. Let us pray that we women realize the reason for our existence: to love and be loved and through this love become instruments of peace in the world.
Mother Teresa
I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.
Mother Teresa
Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being's entitlement by virtue of his humanity. The right to life does not depend, and must not be contingent, on the pleasure of anyone else, not even a parent or sovereign. ... You must weep that your own government, at present, seems blind to this truth.
Mother Teresa
I used to pray that God would feed the hungry, or do this or that, but now I pray that he will guide me to do whatever I'm supposed to do, what I can do. I used to pray for answers, but now I'm praying for strength. I used to believe that prayer changes things, but now I know that prayer changes us and we change things.
Mother Teresa
Communion with Christ gives us our strength, our joy, and our love.
Mother Teresa
A joyful heart is the normal result of a heart burning with love. She gives most who gives with joy.
Mother Teresa
Our progress in holiness depends on God and ourselves - on God's grace and on our will to be holy.
Mother Teresa
Faith keeps the person who keeps the faith.
Mother Teresa
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
The fruit of love is service, which is compassion in action.
Mother Teresa
The joy of Jesus will be my strength - it will be in my heart. Every person I meet will see it in my work my walk, my prayer - in everything.
Mother Teresa
The miracle is not that we do this work, but that we are happy to do it.
Mother Teresa
The biggest disease today is not leprosy or tuberculosis, but rather the feeling of being unwanted.
Mother Teresa
There are only two ways: either we love-and love in action is service - or we put hatred into action and destroy.
Mother Teresa
You who have received so much love, share it with others. Love others the way that God has loved you, with tenderness.
Mother Teresa
God is everywhere and in everything and without Him we cannot exist.
Mother Teresa
The fruit of faith is love.
Mother Teresa
