I will not pray clarity for you. Clarity is the crutch of the Christian. But I will pray trust for you, that your trust will increase.

Image
Anybody who helps the poor is delighted. So naturally, they (critics) are not very happy with us.
Mother Teresa
Image
The family that prays together stays together, and if they stay together they will love one another as God has loved each one of them. And works of love are always works of peace.
Mother Teresa
Image
Words which do not give the light of Christ increase the darkness.
Mother Teresa
Image
Souls of prayer are souls of great silence
Mother Teresa
Image
I have said often, and I am sure of it, that the greatest destroyer of peace in the world today is abortion. If a mother can kill her own child, what is there to stop you and me from killing each other? The only one who has the right to take life is the The One who has created it.
Mother Teresa

It is a just retribution for improper sexual misconduct
Mother Teresa
Image
In the end, dear friend, it is always between us and God, not between us and them.
Mother Teresa
Image
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.

People who really want help may attack you if you help them. Help them anyway.
Mother Teresa
Image
I used to believe that prayer changes things, but now I know that prayer changes us, and we change things.
Mother Teresa
Image
Life is a challenge, we must take it.
Mother Teresa
Image
Do not wait for leaders do it alone, person to person.
Mother Teresa
Image
How can there be too many children? That is like saying there are too many flowers.
Mother Teresa
Image
One truly must have suffered oneself to help others.
Mother Teresa
Image
There are others who take up that (liberating) role. I have no time to spend for that.
Mother Teresa
Image
I am only a little pencil in the hand of our Lord. He may cut or sharpen the pencil. He may write or draw whatever and whenever he wants. If the writing or drawing is good, we do not honor the pencil or the material that is used, but rather the one who used it.
Mother Teresa
Image
Life is a song, sing it. Life is a struggle, accept it.
Mother Teresa
Image
I begin each day with holy Mass, receiving Jesus hidden under the appearance of a simple piece of bread. Then I go out into the streets and I find the same Jesus hidden in the dying destitute, the AIDS patients, the lepers, the abandoned children, the hungry, and the homeless. It's the same Jesus.
Mother Teresa
Image
God loves me. I'm not here just to fill a place, just to be a number. He has chosen me for a purpose. I know it.
Mother Teresa
Image
The more we empty ourselves, the more room we give God to fill us.
