More quotes by Mother Teresa
Jesus, I love you. Jesus, I love you.
Mother Teresa
Nobody can change your religion unless you want to and God gives you the grace. It's between you and God alone. Nobody can force you.
Mother Teresa
It is not the magnitude of our actions, but the amount of love that is put into them that matters.
Mother Teresa
Abortion is murder in the womb...A child is a gift of God. If you do not want him, give him to me.
Mother Teresa
I see God in every human being. When I wash the leper's wounds I feel I am nursing the Lord himself. Is it not a beautiful experience?
Mother Teresa
Faith in action is love, and love in action is service. By transforming that faith into living acts of love, we put ourselves in contact with God Himself, with Jesus our Lord.
Mother Teresa
Holy living consists in doing God's work with a smile.
Mother Teresa
I always say if you are afraid of them (the unborn), give them to me. Please, don't kill them.
Mother Teresa
When a poor person dies I want then to die in the arms of somebody who loves them. I want them to be able to look for the last time into the eyes of somebody who cares for them
Mother Teresa
Justice without love is not justice. Love without justice is not love
Mother Teresa
To fear is to expect punishment. To love is to know we are immersed not in darkness, but in light.
Mother Teresa
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.
Mother Teresa
People are hungry for God. Do you see that? Quite often we look but do not see. We are all passing through this world. We need to open our eyes and see.
Mother Teresa
Let us preach you, Dear Jesus, without preaching.... not by words but by our example.
Mother Teresa
It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish.
Mother Teresa
Faith is a gift of God. Without it there would be no life. And our work, to be fruitful, and to be all for God, and to be beautiful, has to be built of faith. Faith in Christ who has said, I was hungry, I was naked, I was sick, and I was homeless, and you ministered to me! On these words of His all our work is based.
Mother Teresa
If we were able to see God's image in our neighbor, do you think weapons and generals would be needed?
Mother Teresa
Death is nothing else but going home to God, the bond of love will be unbroken for all eternity.
Mother Teresa
In the final analysis it is between you and God, it was never between you and them anyway.
Mother Teresa
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
