It is Christmas every time you let God love others through you.
Mother Teresa
Image
Jesus has very clearly said in the gospel. Whatever you do, do to the least of my brethren. Clear? That was the work of Jesus.
Mother Teresa
Image
We must never get into the habit of being preoccupied with the future. There is no reason to do so. God is there.
Mother Teresa
Image
Love should be as natural as living and breathing.
Mother Teresa
Image
For me, life is the most beautiful gift of God to mankind, therefore people and nations who destroy life by abortion and euthanasia are the poorest. I do not say legal or illegal, but I think that no human hand should be raised to kill life, since life is God's life in us, even in an unborn child.
Mother Teresa
Image
I think that before people were speaking much about the poor, but now more and more people are speaking to the poor. That is the great difference.
Mother Teresa
Image
Keep your heart pure. A pure heart is necessary to see God in each other. If you see God in each other, there is love for each other, then there is peace.
Mother Teresa

In light of heaven, the worst suffering on earth, a life full of the most atrocious tortures on earth, will be seen to be no more serious than one night in an inconvenient hotel.
Mother Teresa
Image
The future is not in our hands. We have no power over it. We can act only today. We have a sentence in our Constitution that says: 'We will allow the good God to make plans for the future - for yesterday has gone, tomorrow has not yet come and we have only today to make Him known, loved and served.' So we do not worry about the future.
Mother Teresa
Image
We have very little, so we have nothing to be preoccupied with. The more you have, the more you are occupied, the less you give. But the less you have, the more free you are.
Mother Teresa
Image
I choose the poverty of our poor people. But I am grateful to receive it (the Nobel) in the name of the hungry, the naked, the homeless, of the crippled, of the blind, of the lepers, of all those people who feel unwanted, unloved, uncared for throughout society, people that have become a burden to the society and are shunned by everyone.

Life's a song,sing it
Mother Teresa
Image
Thank God we don't serve God with our feelings, otherwise I don't know where I would be. - Pray for me.

Listen in silence because if your heart is full of other things you cannot hear the voice of God
Mother Teresa
Image
Let us not love by words alone, but let us love until it hurts.
Mother Teresa
Image
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
Image
In the silence of our hearts, God speaks of His love with our silence, we allow Jesus to love us.
Mother Teresa
Image
If you have not the experience, ask. There is no shame in asking, but do not pretend you know when you don't.
Mother Teresa
Image
We must love one another as God loves each one of us. To be able to love, we need a clean heart. Prayer is what gives us a clean heart. The fruit of prayer is a deepening of faith and the fruit of faith is love. The fruit of love is service, which is compassion in action.
Mother Teresa

A joyful heart is the normal result of a heart burning with love. She gives most who gives with joy.
