Mother Teresa

Be perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect.

Mother Teresa

Be the living expression of God’s kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile.

Mother Teresa

Because I cannot rely on myself, I rely on Him, twenty-four hours a day.

Mother Teresa

Before you speak, it is necessary for you to listen, for God speaks in the silence of the heart.

Mother Teresa

Brothers, Fathers and Sisters – all of us in the Missionaries of Charity are doing the same. All of us have been created by God to love and to be loved. We are involved in this work. When you do that, there is joy, unity and love.

Mother Teresa

By abortion, the mother does not learn to love, but kills even her own child to solve her problems.

Mother Teresa

Cheerfulness is a sign of a generous and mortified person who forgetting all things, even herself, tries to please her God in all she does for souls. Cheerfulness is often a cloak which hides a life of sacrifice and a continual union with God.

Mother Teresa

Communion with Christ gives us our strength, our joy, and our love.

Mother Teresa

Conversion is not only changing the faith. Conversion is changing the heart and working over there is the grace of God. Then only comes the question of change of faith. Nobody can force you, not even the holy prophets.

Mother Teresa

Death is nothing else but going home to God, the bond of love will be unbroken for all eternity.
