When Christ said: I was hungry and you fed me, he didn't mean only the hunger for bread and for food he also meant the hunger to be loved. Jesus himself experienced this loneliness.

Holiness consists of doing the will of God with a smile.
Mother Teresa
Image
I never look at the masses as my responsibility. I look at the individual. I can love only one person at a time. I can feed only one person at a time. Just one, one, one.
Mother Teresa
Image
I try to give to the poor people for love what the rich could get for money. No, I wouldn't touch a leper for a thousand pounds yet I willingly cure him for the love of God.

Live simply so others may simply live.

Following Jesus is simple, but not easy. Love until it hurts, and then love more.
Mother Teresa
Image
He came amongst his own and his own received him not, and it hurt him then and it has kept on hurting him. The same hunger, the same loneliness, the same having no one to be accepted by and to be loved and wanted by.

…Spread your love everywhere you go.

Any country that accepts abortion is the poorest of the poor
Mother Teresa

Spread love everywhere you go first of all in your house. Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next door neighbor. Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier.
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 cannot separate our lives from the Eucharist the moment we do, something breaks. People ask, 'Where do the sisters get the joy and the energy to do what they are doing?' The Eucharist involves more than just receiving it also involves satisfying the hunger of Christ. He says, 'Come to Me.' He is hungry for souls.

I was once asked why I don't participate in anti-war demonstrations. I said that I will never do that, but as soon as you have a pro-peace rally, I'll be there.
Mother Teresa
Image
We must love prayer. It widens the heart to the point of making it capable of containing the gift that God makes of himself. Ask and seek, and your heart will be widened to welcome him and to keep him within itself.
