Image
I am nothing I am but an instrument, a tiny pencil in the hands of the Lord with which He writes what he likes. However imperfect we are, he writes beautifully.
Mother Teresa
Image
Holy Angels, our advocates, our brothers, our counselors, our defenders, our enlighteners, our friends, our guides, our helpers, our intercessors - Pray for us.
Mother Teresa
Image
Holiness is not a luxury for the few it is not just for some people. It is meant for you and for me and for all of us. It is a simple duty, because if we learn to love, we learn to be holy.
Mother Teresa
Image
There should be less talk. . . . What do you do then? Take a broom and clean someone's house. That says enough.
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

If I'd never have picked up the first person, I'd never have picked up the 42,000 in Calcutta.

Image
Hungry not only for bread - but hungry for love. Naked not only for clothing - but naked of human dignity and respect. Homeless not only for want of a home of bricks - but homeless because of rejection.
Mother Teresa

The poor are our brothers and sisters ... people in the world who need love, who need care, who have to be wanted.
Mother Teresa

If you have not the experience, ask. There is no shame in asking, but do not pretend you know when you don't.
Mother Teresa
Image
I picked up a man from the street, and he was eaten up alive from worms. Nobody could stand him, and he was smelling so badly. I went to him to clean him, and he asked, 'Why do you do this?' I said, 'Because I love you.'
Mother Teresa

The time you spend with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is the best time you will spend on earth. Each moment that you spend with Jesus will deepen your union with Him and make your soul everlastingly more glorious and beautiful in Heaven, and will help bring about everlasting peace on earth
Mother Teresa

And if we can accept that a mother can kill her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another?
Mother Teresa
Image
By abortion, the mother does not learn to love, but kills even her own child to solve her problems.
Mother Teresa
Image
The more you have, the more you are occupied, the less you give. But the less you have the more free you are. Poverty for us is a freedom. It is not mortification, a penance. It is joyful freedom. There is no television here, no this, no that. But we are perfectly happy.
Mother Teresa
Image
When you don't have anything, then you have everything.
Mother Teresa
Image
Have a great compassion for people. To be able to have a heart full of compassion, we need to pray. Especially be kind, be loving to the poor. We think we do so much for the poor, but it is they who make us rich. We are in debt to them. Do you want to do something beautiful for God? There is a person who needs you. This is your chance.
Mother Teresa

The highest form of worship is to find the least among you and treat them like Jesus.
Mother Teresa
Image
In the final analysis it is between you and God, it was never between you and them anyway.
Mother Teresa
Image
Thank God we don't serve God with our feelings, otherwise I don't know where I would be. - Pray for me.

When you love till it hurts, there will be no hurt left, just love.
