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
If you are humble nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace, because you know what you are.

Today it is fashionable to talk about the poor. Unfortunately, it is not fashionable to talk with them.

If you can't feed 100 just feed ONE.

I always begin my prayer in silence, for it is in the silence of the heart that God speaks. God is the friend of silence-we need to listen to God because it's not what we say but what He says to us and through us that matters.
Mother Teresa

There should be less talk. . . . What do you do then? Take a broom and clean someone's house. That says enough.

Mother Teresa tells a story of walking past an open drain and catching a glimpse of something moving in it. She investigated and found a dying man whom she took back to a home where he could die in love and peace. 'I live like an animal in the streets,' the man told her. 'Now I will die like an angel'.

Silence gives us a new way of looking at something.
Mother Teresa
Image
In the silence of our hearts, God speaks of His love with our silence, we allow Jesus to love us.
Mother Teresa
Image
We serve life, not because it is broken, but because it is holy.
Mother Teresa
Image
If you really love one another, you will not be able to avoid making sacrifices.
Mother Teresa
Image
Put yourself completely under the influence of Jesus, so that he may think his thoughts in your mind, do his work through your hands, for you will be all-powerful with him to strengthen you.
Mother Teresa
Image
I have a primary responsibility to myself to make myself into the best person I can possibly be. Then and only then, will I have something worthwhile to share.- I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love.
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
Let us not love by words alone, but let us love until it hurts.
Mother Teresa
