It was easier to deal with poverty and death in India that the lack of spirituality in America.
Mother Teresa

The Cross will be for us as it was for Christ: proof of the greatest love.

Love should be as natural as living and breathing.
Mother Teresa
Image
Once I asked my counsellor for advice about my vocation. I asked, 'How can I know if God is calling me and for what he is calling me?' He answered, 'You will know by your happiness. If you are happy with the idea that God calls you to serve him and your neighbour, this will be the proof of your vocation.'
Mother Teresa

Every human being in that case resembles Christ in his loneliness and that is the hardest part, that's real hunger.
Mother Teresa

The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.

Often you can see power lines running alongside the street. Unless current is flowing through them, there is no light. The power line is you and I! The current is God! We have the power to allow the current to flow through us and thus to generate the light of the world: JESUS - or to refuse to be used and, thus, allow the darkness to spread.
Mother Teresa
Image
Death, in the final analysis, is only the easiest and quickest means to go back to God. If only we could make people understand that we come from God and that we have to go back to Him!
Mother Teresa
Image
By praying ... If you want to pray better, you must pray more.
Mother Teresa
Image
You can find Calcutta anywhere in the world. You only need two eyes to see. Everywhere in the world there are people that are not loved, people that are not wanted nor desired, people that no one will help, people that are pushed away or forgotten. And this is the greatest poverty.

We think we do so much for the poor, but it is they who make us rich
Mother Teresa
Image
The highest form of worship is to find the least among you and treat them like Jesus.

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