The purpose of guilt is to bring us to the Lord, after that it has no purpose.
Mother Teresa

Holiness consists in doing God’s will joyfully. Faithfulness makes saints. The spiritual life is a union with Jesus: the divine and the human giving themselves to each other. The only thing Jesus asks of us is to give ourselves to him, in total poverty and total self-forgetfulness.
Mother Teresa

Jesus has said Come, blessed of my Father, take the seat in the kingdom prepared for you, because I was hungry you gave me food, I was thirsty you have me drink, I was naked you clothed me, I was homeless you took me home and I was sick you visited me. And we are just doing that.

Sweetest Lord, make me appreciative of the dignity of my high vocation, and its many responsibilities. Never permit me to disgrace it by giving way to coldness, unkindness, or impatience.
Mother Teresa
Image
We have no salaries. When one says he is from a good Catholic family and says he wants to help us, why should we refuse his offer?
Mother Teresa
Image
What will we answer to Him about that child, that old father and mother, because they are His creation, they are children of God.

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

Mother Teresa
