More quotes by Mother Teresa
Hungry for love, He looks at you. Thirsty for kindness, He begs of you. Naked for loyalty, He hopes in you. Homeless for shelter in your heart, He asks of you. Will you be that one to Him?
Mother Teresa
God doesn't require us to succeed, he only requires that you try.
Mother Teresa
you [priests] are called 'another Christ.'
Mother Teresa
Give a glass of water, you give it to me. Receive a little child, you receive me.
Mother Teresa
In the silence of the heart God speaks. If you face God in prayer and silence, God will speak to you. Then you will know that you are nothing. It is only when you realize your nothingness, your emptiness, that God can fill you with Himself. Souls of prayer are souls of great silence.
Mother Teresa
Words which do not give the light of Christ increase the darkness.
Mother Teresa
Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration with exposition needs a great push. People ask me: 'What will convert America and save the world?' My answer is prayer. What we need is for every parish to come before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament in holy hours of prayer.
Mother Teresa
... do not spare me in anything -- let there be less and less of me in everything.
Mother Teresa
Holy Angels, our advocates, our brothers, our counselors, our defenders, our enlighteners, our friends, our guides, our helpers, our intercessors - Pray for us.
Mother Teresa
When you don't have anything, then you have everything.
Mother Teresa
Following Jesus is simple, but not easy. Love until it hurts, and then love more.
Mother Teresa
If we can not love the person whom we see, how can we love God whom we can not see?
Mother Teresa
Love means to be willing to give until it hurts.
Mother Teresa
even God could do nothing for someone already full. You have to be completely empty to let Him in to do what He will.
Mother Teresa
We belong to each other.
Mother Teresa
We must love prayer. It widens the heart to the point of making it capable of containing the gift that God makes of himself. Ask and seek, and your heart will be widened to welcome him and to keep him within itself.
Mother Teresa
Today it is fashionable to talk about the poor. Unfortunately, it is not fashionable to talk with them.
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
From the moment a soul has the grace to know God, she must seek.
Mother Teresa
I don't think there is anyone who needs God's help as much as I do. Sometimes I feel so helpless and weak. I think that is why God uses me. Because I cannot depend on my own strength, I rely on Him twenty-four hours a day.
Mother Teresa
