O God, how easily I make them happy! Give me strength to be always the light of their lives and so lead them to You!

Life is a challenge, we must take it.

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
At the hour of death when we all come face to face with God we are going to be judged on love: how much we have loved, not how much we have done but how much love we have put in our action.
Mother Teresa
