Mother Teresa

Let us touch the dying, the poor, the lonely and the unwanted according to the graces we have received and let us not be ashamed or slow to do the humble work.

Mother Teresa

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

Like Jesus we belong to the world living not for ourselves but for others. The joy of the Lord is our strength.

Mother Teresa

Living intensely each present day means letting Christ dwell within you. His words are so clear: Today I would like to enter your home.

Mother Teresa

Look at the cross and you will know what one soul means to Jesus.

Mother Teresa

Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do… but how much love we put in that action.

Mother Teresa

Love cannot remain by itself – it has no meaning. Love has to be put into action and that action is service.

Mother Teresa

My mother and sister must be very happy to be home with God, and I am sure their love and prayers are always with me. When I go home to God, for death is nothing else but going home to God, the bond of love will be unbroken for all eternity.

Mother Teresa

My prayer for you is that you come to understand and have the courage to answer Jesus’ call to you with the simple word ‘yes’.

Mother Teresa

My secret is a very simple one: I pray. To pray to Christ is to love him.
