More quotes by Mother Teresa
Jesus has made Himself the Bread of Life to give us life. Night and day, He is there. If you really want to grow in love, come back to the Eucharist, come back to that Adoration.
Mother Teresa
Even if I wanted, I cannot do anything. When they die, we always send for their co-religionists. Muslims take the Muslim's body to bury it, Hindus come and take away the dead to be cremated and Christians come and bury their dead.
Mother Teresa
Of all the diseases I have known, loneliness is the worst.
Mother Teresa
God does not demand that I be successful. God demands that I be faithful. When facing God, results are not important. Faithfulness is what is important.
Mother Teresa
If you are successful, you will win some false friends & some true enemies: Succeed anyway
Mother Teresa
There is a light in this world, a healing spirit more powerful than any darkness we may encounter.
Mother Teresa
Faith is a gift from God and he gives it to whomever he chooses
Mother Teresa
If you ever feel distressed during your day - call upon our Lady - just say this simple prayer: 'Mary, Mother of Jesus, please be a mother to me now.' I must admit - this prayer has never failed me.
Mother Teresa
I will not pray clarity for you. Clarity is the crutch of the Christian. But I will pray trust for you, that your trust will increase.
Mother Teresa
Often you can see power lines running alongside the street. Unless current is flowing through them, there is no light. The power line is you and I! The current is God! We have the power to allow the current to flow through us and thus to generate the light of the world: JESUS - or to refuse to be used and, thus, allow the darkness to spread.
Mother Teresa
Do you want to be great? Pick up a broom and sweep the floor.
Mother Teresa
Let us touch the dying, the poor, the lonely and the unwanted according to the graces we have received and let us not be ashamed or slow to do the humble work.
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
Profound joy of the heart is like a magnet that indicates the path of life.
Mother Teresa
If you can't feed 100 just feed ONE.
Mother Teresa
I have never been in a war before, but I have seen famine and death. I was asking (myself) what do they feel when they do this? I don't understand it. They are all children of God. Why do they do it. I don't understand.
Mother Teresa
When you don't have anything, then you have everything.
Mother Teresa
The fruit of faith is love.
Mother Teresa
I don't think we can do anything more than what we are doing now.
Mother Teresa
Why can't there be love that never gets tired?
Mother Teresa
