Mother Teresa

Our poor people are great people, a very lovable people, They don’t need our pity and sympathy. They need our understanding love and they need our respect. We need to tell the poor that they are somebody to us that they, too, have been created, by the same loving hand of God, to love and be loved.

Mother Teresa

Our vocation, to be beautiful, must be full of thought for others.

Mother Teresa

Peace begins with a smile.

Mother Teresa

Prayer feeds the soul – as blood is to the body, prayer is to the soul – and it brings you closer to God.

Mother Teresa

Prayer in action is love, love in action is service.

Mother Teresa

Prayer is not asking. Prayer is putting oneself in the hands of God, at His disposition, and listening to His voice in the depth of our hearts.

Mother Teresa

Prayer is the mortar that holds our house together.

Mother Teresa

Prayer to be fruitful must come from the heart and must be able to touch the heart of God.

Mother Teresa

Profound joy of the heart is like a magnet that indicates the path of life.

Mother Teresa

Put your sins in the chalice for the precious blood to wash away. One drop is capable of washing away the sins of the world.
