Image
Love until it hurts. Real love is always painful and hurts: then it is real and pure.
Mother Teresa
Image
You can find Calcutta anywhere in the world. You only need two eyes to see. Everywhere in the world there are people that are not loved, people that are not wanted nor desired, people that no one will help, people that are pushed away or forgotten. And this is the greatest poverty.
Mother Teresa
Image
I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.
Mother Teresa
Image
Our hours of adoration will be special hours of reparation for sins, and intercession for the needs of the whole world, exposing the sin-sick and suffering humanity to the healing, sustaining and transforming rays of Jesus, radiating from the Eucharist.
Mother Teresa
Image
Love has a hem to her garment that reaches to the very dust. It sweeps the stains from the streets and lanes, and because it can, it must.
Mother Teresa
Image
Abortion kills twice. It kills the body of the baby and it kills the conscience of the mother. Abortion is profoundly anti-women. Three quarters of its victims are women: Half the babies and all the mothers.
Mother Teresa
Image
In the final analysis it is between you and God, it was never between you and them anyway.
Mother Teresa
Image
Failure is merely feedback that there is something blocking the path of the emergence and expansion of the greatest version of yourself.
Mother Teresa
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
What you do to these men on California's Death Row, you do to God.
Mother Teresa
Image
Prayer is as necessary as the air, as the blood in our bodies, as anything to keep us alive-to keep us alive to the grace of God.
Mother Teresa
Image
Jesus has very clearly said in the gospel. Whatever you do, do to the least of my brethren. Clear? That was the work of Jesus.
Mother Teresa
Image
We can do no great things-only small things with great love.
Mother Teresa
Image
There are others who take up that (liberating) role. I have no time to spend for that.
Mother Teresa
Image
To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.
Mother Teresa
Image
Life is not worth living unless it is lived for others.
Mother Teresa
Image
Joy must be one of the pivots of our life. It is the token of a generous personality. Sometimes it is also a mantle that clothes a life of sacrifice and self-giving. A person who has this gift often reaches high summits. He or she is like sun in a community.
Mother Teresa
Image
Holiness does not consist in doing extraordinary things. It consists in accepting, with a smile, what Jesus sends us. It consists in accepting and following the will of God.
Mother Teresa
Image
Life is a song, sing it. Life is a struggle, accept it.
Mother Teresa
Image
We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence.
