Life is not worth living unless it is lived for others.
Mother Teresa
Image
As for me, the silence and the emptiness is so great, that I look and do not see, — Listen and do not hear — the tongue moves but does not speak … I want you to pray for me — that I let Him have free hand.
Mother Teresa

Mother Teresa

Be faithful in the little things.

A clean heart is a free heart. A free heart can love Christ with an undivided love in chastity, convinced that nothing and nobody will separate it from his love. Purity, chastity, and virginity created a special beauty in Mary that attracted God's attention. He showed his great love for the world by giving Jesus to her.

It often happens that those who spend their time giving light to others, remain in darkness themselves.
Mother Teresa

A day lived without doing something good for others is a day not worth living.
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
Let us love one another as God loves each one of us. And where does this love begin? In our own home. How does it begin? By praying together.
Mother Teresa
Image
When you don't have anything, then you have everything.
Mother Teresa

If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
Mother Teresa
