More quotes by Mother Teresa

Image
Sometimes people can hunger for more than bread. It is possible that our children, our husband, our wife, do not hunger for bread, do not need clothes, do not lack a house. But are we equally sure that none of them feels alone, abandonded, neglected, needing some affection? That, too, is poverty.
Mother Teresa
Image
It is only by frequent deaths of ourselves and our self-centered desires that we can come to live more fully.
Mother Teresa
Image
He came amongst his own and his own received him not, and it hurt him then and it has kept on hurting him. The same hunger, the same loneliness, the same having no one to be accepted by and to be loved and wanted by.
Mother Teresa
Image
If I look at the mass I will never act.
Mother Teresa
Image
Let us use love and compassion. Peace begins with a smile. Smile five times a day at someone you don't really want to smile at at all. Do it for peace.

Silence gives us a new outlook on everything. We need silence to be able to touch souls. The essential thing is not what we say but what God says to us and through us.
Mother Teresa
Image
Souls of prayer are souls of great silence
Mother Teresa

Nobody can convert you except God.

Holiness is doing God's will with a smile.
Mother Teresa

If you are looking for vocations, as a community have adoration every day. Once the Missionaries of Charity started daily adoration, their vocations doubled
Mother Teresa
Image
But I feel that the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a war against the child, a direct killing of the innocent child, murder by the mother herself.
Mother Teresa
Image
We are now in 126 countries. We have 561 houses - tabernacles we call them - and over 4600 nuns. It's simply to serve the poorest of the poor. We are wanted and we have championed those who have nothing, the deprived children of God.
Mother Teresa
Image
If our bones were not sending whispers of doubt to our hearts, there would be no need for prayer at all.
Mother Teresa
Image
The success of love is in the loving - it is not in the result of loving. Of course it is natural in love to want the best for the other person, but whether it turns out that way or not does not determine the value of what we have done.
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.

How much love did you put into what you did?
Mother Teresa

People everywhere are the same they are all people to be loved. They are all hungry for love.
