Image
Let us touch the dying, the poor, the lonely and the unwanted according to the graces we have received and let us not be ashamed or slow to do the humble work.
Mother Teresa
Image
Find your own Calcutta. Find the sick, the suffering and the lonely right there where you are.
Mother Teresa
Image
The fruit of love is service, which is compassion in action.
Mother Teresa
Image
The success of love is in the loving - it is not in the result of loving. Of course it is natural in love to want the best for the other person, but whether it turns out that way or not does not determine the value of what we have done.
Mother Teresa
Image
Following Jesus is simple, but not easy. Love until it hurts, and then love more.
Mother Teresa
Image
I must be willing to give whatever it takes to do good to others. This requires that I be willing to give until it hurts. Otherwise, there is no true love in me, and I bring injustice, not peace, to those around me.
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
You can find Calcutta anywhere in the world. You only need two eyes to see. Everywhere in the world there are people that are not loved, people that are not wanted nor desired, people that no one will help, people that are pushed away or forgotten. And this is the greatest poverty.
Mother Teresa
Image
At the heart of silence is prayer. At the heart of prayer is faith. At the heart of faith is life. At the heart of life is service.
Mother Teresa
Image
We need silence to be able to touch souls.
Mother Teresa
Image
Be faithful in the little things.
Mother Teresa
Image
I am but a small pencil in the hand of a writing God
Mother Teresa
Image
A joyful heart is like the sunshine of God's love, the hope of eternal happiness.
Mother Teresa
Image
We cannot really know God if we do not pray.
Mother Teresa
Image
If you try, you will find it impossible to do one great thing. You can only do many small things with great love.
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
The fruit of love is service. The fruit of service is peace. And peace begins with a smile.
Mother Teresa
Image
I realized that I had the call to take care of the sick and the dying, the hungry, the naked, the homeless - to be God's Love in action to the poorest of the poor. That was the beginning of the Missionaries of Charity.
Mother Teresa
Image
The more you have, the more you are occupied, the less you give.
Mother Teresa

At this Christmas when Christ comes, will He find a warm heart? Mark the season of Advent by loving and serving the others with God's own love and concern.
