Mother Teresa quotes about
There are no great things, only small things with great love. Happy are those.
We can cure physical diesases with medicine, but the only cure for loneliness, despair, and hopelessness is love. There are many in the world who are dying for a piece of bread, but there are many more dying for a little love>
There is more hunger in the world for love and appreciation in this world than for bread.
We, the unwilling,led by the unknowing,are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much,for so long,with so little,we are now qualified to do anything with nothing.
If you really love one another, you will not be able to avoid making sacrifices.
We need to give Christ a chance to make use of us, to be His word and His work, to share His food and His clothing in the world today. If we do not radiate the light of Christ around us, the sense of the darkness that prevails in the world will increase.
Only humility will lead us to unity, and unity to peace
The family that prays together stays together, and if they stay together they will love one another as God has loved each one of them. And works of love are always works of peace.
Mother Teresa tells a story of walking past an open drain and catching a glimpse of something moving in it. She investigated and found a dying man whom she took back to a home where he could die in love and peace. 'I live like an animal in the streets,' the man told her. 'Now I will die like an angel'...
We must have a real living determination to reach holiness. ''I will be a saint'' means I will despoil myself of all that is not God; I will strip my heart of all created things; I will live in poverty and detachment; I will renounce my will, my inclinations, my whims and fancies, and make make myself a willing slave to the will of God.
We must never be afraid to be a sign of contradiction for the world.
God demands not that I be successful, but that I be faithful.
