Prayer is as necessary as the air, as the blood in our bodies, as anything to keep us alive-to keep us alive to the grace of God.
Mother Teresa
Image
We will never know how much just a simple smile will do.
Mother Teresa
Image
If you are hungry to hear the voice of God, you will hear. To hear, you have to cut out all other things.
Mother Teresa
Image
We complicate prayer as we complicate many things. It is to love Jesus with undivided love-for you, for me, for all of us. And that undivided love is put into action when we do as Jesus said, love as I have loved you
Mother Teresa
Image
I am busy with my work. My path is clear. I see somebody dying, I pick him up. I find somebody hungry, I give him food. He can love and be loved. I don't look at his color, I don't look at his religion.
Mother Teresa
Image
You have to be holy in your position as you are, and I have to be holy in the position that God has put me. So it is nothing extraordinary to be holy. Holiness is not the luxury of the few. Holiness is a simple duty for you and for me. We have been created for that.

Do we know our poor people? Do we know the poor in our house, in our family? Perhaps they are not hungry for a piece of bread. Perhaps our children, husband, wife, are not hungry, or naked, or dispossessed, but are you sure there is no one there who feels unwanted, deprived of affection?

In the end, dear friend, it is always between us and God, not between us and them.
Mother Teresa
Image
There is a famine in America. Not a famine of food, but of love, of truth, of life.
Mother Teresa
Image
Love has a hem to her garment that reaches to the very dust. It sweeps the stains from the streets and lanes, and because it can, it must.
Mother Teresa
Image
Holiness consists of doing the will of God with a smile.
Mother Teresa
Image
The world today is hungry Not only for bread But hungry for love Hungry to be wanted, Hungry to be loved.
Mother Teresa
Image
Do not wait for leaders do it alone, person to person.
Mother Teresa

We are called upon not to be successful, but to be faithful.
Mother Teresa

Charity isn't about pity, it is about love.
Mother Teresa
Image
I have told everybody that what we are doing is for the love of God and works of love are always to accept and respect others.

Faith keeps the person who keeps the faith.
Mother Teresa

Because I cannot rely on myself, I rely on Him, twenty-four hours a day.
