Jesus has made Himself the Bread of Life to give us life. Night and day, He is there. If you really want to grow in love, come back to the Eucharist, come back to that Adoration.
Mother Teresa
Image
We realize that what we are accomplishing is a drop in the ocean. But if this drop were not in the ocean, it would be missed.
Mother Teresa
Image
Love - the more you share with others, the more you have.
Mother Teresa
Image
The more you have, the more you are occupied, the less you give.
Mother Teresa
Image
Joy is the characteristic by which God uses us to re-make the distressing into the desired, the discarded into the creative. Joy is prayer-Joy is strength-Joy is love-Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls.
Mother Teresa
Image
We may not be able to give much but we can always give the joy that springs in a heart that is in LOVE WITH GOD.

I don't think we can do anything more than what we are doing now.
Mother Teresa
Image
The other day I dreamed that I was at the gates of heaven. And St. Peter said, 'Go back to Earth, there are no slums up here.'

Communion with Christ gives us our strength, our joy, and our love.
Mother Teresa
Image
Put yourself completely under the influence of Jesus, so that he may think his thoughts in your mind, do his work through your hands, for you will be all-powerful with him to strengthen you.
Mother Teresa
Image
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
May God give back to you in love all the love you have given.
Mother Teresa
Image
Give the world the best you have and you may get hurt. Give the world your best anyway.
Mother Teresa

February 1997 - National Prayer Breakfast in Washington attended by the President and the First Lady. What is taking place in America, she said, is a war against the child. And if we accept that the mother can kill her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another.
Mother Teresa
Image
Let's not pray long, drawn-out prayers, but let's pray short ones full of love. Let us pray on behalf of those who do not pray. Let us remember, if we want to be able to love, we must be able to pray!
Mother Teresa
Image
Life is not worth living unless it is lived for others.
Mother Teresa
Image
We must free ourselves to be filled by God. Even God cannot fill what is full.
Mother Teresa
Image
Everything starts from prayer. Without asking God for love, we cannot possess love and still less are we able to give it to others. Just as people today are speaking so much about the poor but they do not know or talk to the poor, we too cannot talk so much about prayer and yet not know how to pray.

You can and you must expect suffering.
Mother Teresa

What we say does not matter - only what God says to souls through us.
