Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do, but how much love we put in the action that we do.
Mother Teresa
Image
I don't think there is anyone who needs God's help as much as I do. Sometimes I feel so helpless and weak. I think that is why God uses me. Because I cannot depend on my own strength, I rely on Him twenty-four hours a day.

Where was Mother Teresa's Jesus? He was in the Bible, in the church, in her prayer, in the Eucharist, in her sisters, in the heart of everyone she met, and especially in the poorest of the poor and the lowest of the low. Jesus was in disguise in each one of them. Jesus was behind the foundation of her order. Jesus was behind all that she did.

Religion has nothing to do with compassion it is our love for God that is the main thing because we have all been created for the sole purpose to love and be loved.
Mother Teresa

Justice without love is not justice. Love without justice is not love

You weren't created just to consume resources, you were put on this Earth to make a contribution.

A joyful heart is the normal result of a heart burning with love. She gives most who gives with joy.
Mother Teresa

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?
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
The poor are our brothers and sisters ... people in the world who need love, who need care, who have to be wanted.
Mother Teresa
Image
Life is a song, sing it. Life is a struggle, accept it.
Mother Teresa
Image
I want you to find the poor here, right in your own home first. And begin love there. Be that good news to your own people.
Mother Teresa
Image
We need prayer to understand God's love for us. If we really mean to pray and want to pray we must be ready to do it now. These are only the first steps towards prayer but if we never make the first step with determination, we will not reach the last one: the presence of God
Mother Teresa

People everywhere are the same they are all people to be loved. They are all hungry for love.
Mother Teresa
Image
The purpose of guilt is to bring us to the Lord, after that it has no purpose.
Mother Teresa
Image
Maybe if I didn't pick up that one person, I wouldn't have picked up forty-two thousand.
Mother Teresa

Poverty was not created by God. It is we who have caused it, you and I through our egotism.
Mother Teresa
Image
I do make conversion, if conversion means really turning people to God - to have a clean heart and to love God. That's the real conversion.
Mother Teresa
Image
We can cure physical diseases with medicine, but the only cure for loneliness, despair, and hopelessness is love. There are many in the world who are dying for a piece of bread, but there are many more dying for a little love.
Mother Teresa
