Faith is a gift from God and he gives it to whomever he chooses
Mother Teresa

The fruit of faith is love.

We cannot really know God if we do not pray.

[My mother tongue is] Albanian. But, I am equally fluent in Bengali (language of Calcutta) and English.
Mother Teresa
Image
I never looked at the masses as my responsibility. I can only love one person at a time. So I began. I picked up one person. Maybe if I didn't pick up that one person, I wouldn't have picked up forty-two thousand.

It is only by frequent deaths of ourselves and our self-centered desires that we can come to live more fully.
Mother Teresa
Image
Everything starts from prayer. Without asking God for love, we cannot possess love and still less are we able to give it to others. Just as people today are speaking so much about the poor but they do not know or talk to the poor, we too cannot talk so much about prayer and yet not know how to pray.
Mother Teresa
Image
God doesn't ask that we succeed in everything, but that we are faithful. However beautiful our work may be, let us not become attached to it. Always remain prepared to give it up, without losing your peace.
Mother Teresa
Image
I do make conversion, if conversion means really turning people to God - to have a clean heart and to love God. That's the real conversion.
Mother Teresa
Image
Every human being in that case resembles Christ in his loneliness and that is the hardest part, that's real hunger.
Mother Teresa
Image
Jesus wants me to tell you again...how much is the love He has for each one of you-beyond all what you can imagine...Not only He loves you, even more - He longs for you. He misses you when you don't come close. He thirsts for you. He loves you always, even when you don't feel worthy.
Mother Teresa

[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
Holiness does not consist in doing extraordinary things. It consists in accepting, with a smile, what Jesus sends us. It consists in accepting and following the will of God.
Mother Teresa
Image
Life is not worth living unless it is lived for others.
Mother Teresa
Image
The point is to do something, however small, and show you care through your actions by giving your time.
