“Let us make one point, that we meet each other with a smile, when it is difficult to smile. Smile at each other, make time for each other in your family.”

“The success of love is in the loving - it is not in the result of loving. Of course it is natural in love to want the best for the other person, but whether it turns out that way or not does not determine the value of what we have done.”

“God has not called me to be successful; He has called me to be faithful.”

Mother Teresa
“We too are called to withdraw at certain intervals into deeper silence and aloneness with God, together as a community as well as personally; to be alone with Him — not with our books, thoughts, and memories but completely stripped of everything — to dwell lovingly in His presence, silent, empty, expectant, and motionless. We cannot find God in noise or agitation.”

Mother Teresa
“We need to find God and God cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature—trees and flowers and grass—grow in silence. See the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence. The more we receive in silent prayer, the more we can give in our active life.”

“We must become holy not because we want to feel holy, but because Christ must be able to live His life fully in us.”

“Go out into the world today and love the people you meet. Let your presence light new light in the hearts of people.”

“I have found the paradox,
that if you love until it hurts,
there can be no more hurt,
only more love.”

Mother Teresa
“In loving one another through our works we bring an increase of grace and a growth in divine love.”

Mother Teresa
“Some people come in our life as blessings. Others come in our life as lessons.”

Mother Teresa
“Why must we give ourselves fully to God? Because God has given Himself to us. If God who owes nothing to us is ready to impart to us no less than Himself, shall we answer with just a fraction of ourselves? To give ourselves fully to God is a means of receiving God Himself. I for God and God for me. I live for God and give up my own self, and in this way induce God to live for me. Therefore to possess God we must allow Him to possess our soul

“I know God won't give me anything I can't handle. I just wish he didn't trust me so much.”
