Every time I ask for visa, they (USA) give me visa for five years. I have never had any problem in getting a visa to any nation.
Mother Teresa
Image
If you are humble nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace, because you know what you are.
Mother Teresa
Image
You who have received so much love, show your love by protecting the sacredness of life. The sacredness of life is the greatest gifts that God has given us.
Mother Teresa
Image
Therefore, even if you write a letter for a blind man or you must go and sit and listen, or you take the mail for him, or you visit somebody or bring a flower to somebody... it is never too small, for this is our love of Christ in action
Mother Teresa
Image
Our Father, here I am, at your disposal, your child, to use me to continue your loving the world, by giving Jesus to me and through me, to each other that we allow Jesus to love in us and through us with the love with which His Father loves him.
Mother Teresa
Image
If we really want to love, if we really want to live, we must love until it hurts . . . No Rotarian whose motto is Service Above Self, I think, should call himself a Rotarian if he does not make time to serve . . . If we love, we begin to serve
Mother Teresa

Let us not love by words alone, but let us love until it hurts.
Mother Teresa

Image
God speaks in the silence of the heart. Listening is the beginning of prayer.

Be kind to each other. It is better to commit faults with gentleness than to work miracles with unkindness.
Mother Teresa
Image
True love is love that causes us pain, that hurts, and yet brings us joy. That is why we must pray to God and ask Him to give us the courage to love
Mother Teresa
Image
I try to give to the poor people for love what the rich could get for money. No, I wouldn't touch a leper for a thousand pounds yet I willingly cure him for the love of God.
Mother Teresa
Image
Religion has nothing to do with compassion it is our love for God that is the main thing because we have all been created for the sole purpose to love and be loved.
Mother Teresa
Image
Love has no meaning if it isn't shared. We have been created for greater things - to love and to be loved... To love a person without any conditions, without any expectations. Small things, done in great love, bring joy and peace. To love, it is necessary to give. To give, it is necessary to be free from selfishness.
Mother Teresa
Image
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
We must pray to Jesus to give us that tenderness of the Eucharist.
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
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
To be alone with Jesus in adoration and intimate union with Him is the Greatest Gift of Love - the tender love of Our Father in Heaven.

We belong to each other.
