Image
We must become holy, not because we want to feel holy, but because Christ must be able to live his life fully in us.
Mother Teresa
Image
I am Albanian by birth. Now I am a citizen of India. I am also a Catholic nun. In my work, I belong to the whole world. But in my heart, I belong to Christ.
Mother Teresa
Image
Go out into the world today and love the people you meet. Let your presence light new light in the hearts of people.
Mother Teresa
Image
[West Bengal state] Government has decided that non-criminal persons should not be kept in these kind of places and asked us to take care of them. They should live in an atmosphere of love. They need to be loved.
Mother Teresa
Image
We need prayer to understand God's love for us. If we really mean to pray and want to pray we must be ready to do it now. These are only the first steps towards prayer but if we never make the first step with determination, we will not reach the last one: the presence of God

I was once asked why I don't participate in anti-war demonstrations. I said that I will never do that, but as soon as you have a pro-peace rally, I'll be there.
Mother Teresa

Love cannot remain by itself - it has no meaning. Love has to be put into action and that action is service.
Mother Teresa
Image
In loving and serving, we prove that we have been created in the likeness of God, for God is Love and when we love we are like God.
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
If you are Catholic, and some other person comes to you seeking guidance, naturally you take him straight away to someone who can show him God's love.
Mother Teresa
Image
Because I cannot rely on myself, I rely on Him, twenty-four hours a day.

Where was Mother Teresa's Jesus? He was in the Bible, in the church, in her prayer, in the Eucharist, in her sisters, in the heart of everyone she met, and especially in the poorest of the poor and the lowest of the low. Jesus was in disguise in each one of them. Jesus was behind the foundation of her order. Jesus was behind all that she did.
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
I have a primary responsibility to myself to make myself into the best person I can possibly be. Then and only then, will I have something worthwhile to share.- I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love.
Mother Teresa
Image
What is called generosity is usually only the vanity of giving we enjoy the vanity more. If you can't feed a hundred people, then just feed one.
Mother Teresa
Image
Let us more and more insist on raising funds of love, of kindness, of understanding, of peace. Money will come if we seek first the Kingdom of God - the rest will be given.
Mother Teresa
Image
Holiness is not a privilege of a few but a need for all.
Mother Teresa
Image
I try to give to the poor people for love what the rich could get for money.
