Mother Teresa

Never travel faster than your guardian angel can fly.

Mother Teresa

Never worry about numbers. Help one person at a time, and always start with the person nearest you.

Mother Teresa

No matter how tired you are, no matter how physically exhausting this work may be, it’s beautiful to bring a smile into someone’s life, to care for someone in need. What greater joy can there be?

Mother Teresa

No matter who says what, you should accept it with a smile and do your own work.

Mother Teresa

Nobody can change your religion unless you want to and God gives you the grace. It’s between you and God alone. Nobody can force you.

Mother Teresa

One filled with joy preaches without preaching.

Mother Teresa

One thing will always secure heaven for us-the acts of charity and kindness with which we have filled our lives. We can do no great things, only small things with great love.

Mother Teresa

Our hours of adoration will be special hours of reparation for sins, and intercession for the needs of the whole world, exposing the sin-sick and suffering humanity to the healing, sustaining and transforming rays of Jesus, radiating from the Eucharist.

Mother Teresa

Our life of poverty is as necessary as the work itself. Only in heaven will we see how much we owe to the poor for helping us to love God better because of them.

Mother Teresa

Our particular mission is to labour at the salvation and sanctification of the poorest of the poor, not only in the slums, but also all over the world wherever they may be.
