More quotes by 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
To be alone with Jesus in adoration and intimate union with Him is the Greatest Gift of Love - the tender love of Our Father in Heaven.
Mother Teresa
Image
We are taught from the very first moment to discover Christ under the distressing disguixe of the poor, the sick, the outcasts. Christ presents Himself to us under every disguise: the dying, the paralytic, the leper, the invalid, the orphan.
Mother Teresa
Image
If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
Mother Teresa
Image
It is easy to love the people far away. It is not always easy to love those close to us.
Mother Teresa
Image
There are only two ways: either we love-and love in action is service - or we put hatred into action and destroy.
Mother Teresa
Image
Do not allow yourselves to be disheartened by any failure as long as you have done your best.
Mother Teresa
Image
Of all the diseases I have known, loneliness is the worst.
Mother Teresa
Image
No matter how tired you are, no matter how physically exhausting this work may be, it's beautiful to bring a smile into someone's life, to care for someone in need. What greater joy can there be?
Mother Teresa
Image
You and I, we are the Church, no? We have to share with our people. Suffering today is because people are hoarding, not giving, not sharing. Jesus made it very clear. Whatever you do to the least of my brethren, you do it to me. Give a glass of water, you give it to me. Receive a little child, you receive me. Clear.
Mother Teresa
Image
Souls of prayer are souls of great silence
Mother Teresa
Image
Find your own Calcutta. Find the sick, the suffering and the lonely right there where you are.
Mother Teresa
Image
Even when the urgent is good, the good can keep you from your best, keep you from your unique contribution, if you let it.
Mother Teresa
Image
The other day I dreamed that I was at the gates of heaven. And St. Peter said, 'Go back to Earth, there are no slums up here.'
Mother Teresa
Image
Jesus has made Himself the Bread of Life to give us life. Night and day, He is there. If you really want to grow in love, come back to the Eucharist, come back to that Adoration.
Mother Teresa
Image
People everywhere are the same they are all people to be loved. They are all hungry for love.
Mother Teresa
Image
Am I ever angry or frustrated? I only feel angry sometimes when I see waste, when things that we waste are what people need, things that would save them from dying. Frustrated? No, never.
Mother Teresa
Image
Mary, my dearest Mother, give me your heart so beautiful, so pure, so immaculate, your heart so full of love and humility, that I may be able to receive Jesus in the Bread of Life, love Him as you loved Hitn and serve Him in the distressing disguise of the poorest of the poor.

Just show up and things will happen.

Live simply so others may simply live.
