Image
Thank God we don't serve God with our feelings, otherwise I don't know where I would be. - Pray for me.
Mother Teresa
Image
Helping hands are better than Praying Lips
Mother Teresa
Image
God will never, never, never let us down if we have faith and put our trust in Him. He will always look after us. So we must cleave to Jesus. Our whole life must simply be woven into Jesus.
Mother Teresa
Image
Joy is the characteristic by which God uses us to re-make the distressing into the desired, the discarded into the creative. Joy is prayer-Joy is strength-Joy is love-Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls.
Mother Teresa
Image
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
Image
Have a great compassion for people. To be able to have a heart full of compassion, we need to pray. Especially be kind, be loving to the poor. We think we do so much for the poor, but it is they who make us rich. We are in debt to them. Do you want to do something beautiful for God? There is a person who needs you. This is your chance.
Mother Teresa
Image
Without our suffering, our work would simply be social work, very good and helpful, but it would not be the work of Jesus Christ, not part of the Redemption.
Mother Teresa
Image
Works of love are always to accept and respect others.
Mother Teresa
Image
There is hunger for ordinary bread, and there is hunger for love, for kindness, for thoughtfulness, and this is the great poverty that makes people suffer so much.
Mother Teresa
Image
Get to know the poor in your country. Love them. Serve them.
Mother Teresa
Image
If you are humble nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace, because you know what you are.
Mother Teresa
Image
We never had any problem from them. Jyoti Basu has been very kind to us. He was the one who told me Mother, please do something for these (jail) girls. He has been helpful and always accessible to us over phone. We also never had any problem whenever we wanted to meet him.
Mother Teresa

Never Let Anyone Come to You Without Coming Away Better and Happier
Mother Teresa
Image
I have never had clarity what I have always had is trust. So I will pray that you will trust God.
Mother Teresa
Image
If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
Mother Teresa
Image
Sometimes people can hunger for more than bread. It is possible that our children, our husband, our wife, do not hunger for bread, do not need clothes, do not lack a house. But are we equally sure that none of them feels alone, abandonded, neglected, needing some affection? That, too, is poverty.
Mother Teresa
Image
Each of us is merely a small instrument all of us, after accomplishing our mission, will disappear.
Mother Teresa
Image
No matter who says what, you should accept it with a smile and do your own work.
Mother Teresa
Image
Follow the path of serenity. Why lose your temper if by losing it you offend God, trouble your neighbor and in the end have to set things aright anyway?
Mother Teresa
Image
Faith keeps the person who keeps the faith.
