I prefer to make a mistake because I am too kind than to perform miracles without any kindness.

Image
Be humble like Mary so that you can be holy like Jesus
Mother Teresa
Image
You who have received so much love, share it with others. Love others the way that God has loved you, with tenderness.
Mother Teresa
Image
Make us worthy Lord to serve our fellow men throughout the world who live and die in poverty and hunger. Give them through our hands this day their daily bread and by our understanding love, give peace and joy.
Mother Teresa
Image
We can cure physical diseases with medicine, but the only cure for loneliness, despair, and hopelessness is love. There are many in the world who are dying for a piece of bread, but there are many more dying for a little love.
Mother Teresa
Image
I am not sure exactly what heaven will be like, but I know that when we die and it comes time for God to judge us, he will not ask, 'How many good things have you done in your life?' rather he will ask, 'How much love did you put into what you did?'
Mother Teresa
Image
Do not wait for leaders do it alone, person to person.
Mother Teresa
Image
God will never, never, never let us down if we have faith and put our trust in Him. He will always look after us. So we must cleave to Jesus. Our whole life must simply be woven into Jesus.
Mother Teresa
Image
Without our suffering, our work would simply be social work, very good and helpful, but it would not be the work of Jesus Christ, not part of the Redemption.
Mother Teresa
Image
A clean heart can see God, can speak to God, and can see the love of God in others.
Mother Teresa
Image
It is not the magnitude of our actions, but the amount of love that is put into them that matters.
Mother Teresa
Image
Our progress in holiness depends on God and ourselves - on God's grace and on our will to be holy.
Mother Teresa
Image
One thing will always secure heaven for us-the acts of charity and kindness with which we have filled our lives. We can do no great things, only small things with great love.
Mother Teresa
Image
At the heart of silence is prayer. At the heart of prayer is faith. At the heart of faith is life. At the heart of life is service.
Mother Teresa
Image
The biggest disease today is not leprosy or cancer or tuberculosis, but rather the feeling or being unwanted, uncared for, deserted by everybody. The greatest evil is the lack of love and charity, the terrible indifference towards one's neighbor who lives at the roadside, the victim of exploitation, corruption, poverty, and disease.
Mother Teresa
Image
In ... silence we find a new energy and a real unity. God's energy becomes our, allowing us to perform things well.
Mother Teresa
Image
In the final analysis it is between you and God, it was never between you and them anyway.
Mother Teresa
Image
Holiness consists in doing God’s will joyfully. Faithfulness makes saints. The spiritual life is a union with Jesus: the divine and the human giving themselves to each other. The only thing Jesus asks of us is to give ourselves to him, in total poverty and total self-forgetfulness.
Mother Teresa
Image
If you are hungry to hear the voice of God, you will hear. To hear, you have to cut out all other things.
Mother Teresa
Image
Our life of poverty is as necessary as the work itself. Only in heaven will we see how much we owe to the poor for helping us to love God better because of them.
Mother Teresa
Image
The work we do is only our love for Jesus in action...If we pray the work...if we do it to Jesus, if we do it for Jesus, if we do it with Jesus...that's what makes us content.
Mother Teresa
