Image
For me, life is the most beautiful gift of God to mankind, therefore people and nations who destroy life by abortion and euthanasia are the poorest. I do not say legal or illegal, but I think that no human hand should be raised to kill life, since life is God's life in us, even in an unborn child.
Mother Teresa

The more we empty ourselves, the more room we give God to fill us.
Mother Teresa
Image
You haven't done the will of God when you have done it miserably.
Mother Teresa
Image
Do not wait for leaders do it alone, person to person.
Mother Teresa
Image
We must never get into the habit of being preoccupied with the future. There is no reason to do so. God is there.

Faith keeps the person who keeps the faith.

Love should be as natural as living and breathing.
Mother Teresa

One thing that I ask of you: Never be afraid of giving. There is a deep joy in giving, since what we receive is much more than what we give.
Mother Teresa
Image
You have to do that here in your country. You must come to know the poor. Maybe our people here have material things, everything, but I think that if we all look into our own homes, how difficult we find it sometimes to smile at each other, and that the smile is the beginning of love.
Mother Teresa

Peace begins with a smile. I will never understand all the good that a simple smile can accomplish.
Mother Teresa
Image
Riches, both material and spiritual, can choke you if you do not use them fairly. For not even God can put anything in a heart that is already full.
Mother Teresa
Image
Every country I love and I am a child of God to love the humans.
Mother Teresa

The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.
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.'
Mother Teresa
Image
Communion with Christ gives us our strength, our joy, and our love.
Mother Teresa
Image
I still think that the greatest suffering is being lonely, feeling unloved, just having no one... That is the worst disease that any human being can ever experience.
Mother Teresa
Image
When a poor person dies I want then to die in the arms of somebody who loves them. I want them to be able to look for the last time into the eyes of somebody who cares for them
Mother Teresa
Image
How sad it is when someone comes to you looking for Jesus and all they see is you.
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.'

We cannot really know God if we do not pray.
