Mother Teresa's Quotes and Inspiration
"Those to whom I am closest, know that my heroine is Mother Teresa. I love her for the works she did to raise the weeping spirits of all she met. I love her for the love of our Savior, Jesus Christ that she 'fed' to those who were rejected by society. I love her for the example of the Strength of One that she brought to all of us. I love her for the genuine Light of Christ that shone through her like a beacon to this dark world so in need of that light. She was a woman for our day. Her words inspire me and I hope they will do the same for you." Bev Q On Christlike Love and Service "We must not drift way
from the humble works, because these are the works nobody will do. It
is never too small. But God, being Almighty, sees everything as great..
Very humble work, that is where you and I must be. For there are many
people who can do big things. But there are very few people who will do
the small things." Mother Teresa. "I pray that you will understand the words of Jesus, “Love one another as I have loved you.” Ask yourself “How has he loved me? Do I really love others in the same way?” Unless this love is among us, we can kill ourselves with work and it will only be work, not love. Work without love is slavery." "When a poor person dies of
hunger, it has not happened because God did not take care of him or
her. "There is a
terrible hunger for love. We all experience that
in our lives - the pain, the loneliness. We must have the courage to
recognize it. The poor you may have right in your own family. "Before you speak, it is necessary for you to listen, for God speaks in the silence of the heart." "Give yourself
fully to God. He will use you to
accomplish great things on the condition that you believe much more in
His love than in your own weakness." "Love each other as God Loves you, with an intense and particular Love. Be Kind to each other: it is better to commit faults with gentleness than to work miracles with unkindness." "Let yourselves be emptied and
transformed
in order to fill the cup of your heart to its fullest, then you in turn
will be able to give in abundance." "Let no one ever come to you
without leaving better and happier." "Only in heaven will we see how much we owe to the poor for helping us to love God better because of them." "The dying, the cripple, the mental, the unwanted, the unloved-- they are Jesus in disguise." "To me, God and compassion are one and the same. Compassion is the joy of sharing. It’s doing small things for the love of each other-just a smile, or carrying a bucket of water, or showing some simple kindness. These are the small things that make up compassion. " "It is only pride and selfishness and coldness that keep us from having compassion. When we ultimately go home to God, we are going to be judged on what we were to each other, what we did for each other, and, especially, how much love we put in that. It’s not how much we give, but how much love we put in the doing ~ that’s compassion in action. " "Are we convinced of Christ's Love for us and of our Love for Him? Is this conviction a sunbeam that Increases the sap of life and makes petals of Holiness bud? Is this conviction the rock on which Holiness is built, in the service of the poor in spirit and possessions, delivering to them what we would like to offer to Christ Himself?" "Let us place ourselves completely under the influence of Jesus, so that He may think through our spirit and work through our hands. We can do everything if His Strength is in us." "Let us make every effort to grow
Spiritually
into the Image of Christ, in order to allow Him to Lead His Life of
mercy
and humanness in today's world."
"When
a poor person dies of hunger, it has not happened because God did not
take care of him or her.
"If we pray, we will believe; If we believe, we will love; If we love, we will serve. " "Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person." "All God really wants is for us
to love him.
The way we can show our love for Him is to serve others."
On Everyday Living "If you are Joyful, do not worry, joy will shine in your eyes and in your look, in your conversation and in your countenance. You will not be able to hide it because joy overflows." "People who really and truly Love each other are the Happiest People in the world." "We can do no great things; only small things with great love." "We must make our homes centers of compassion and forgive endlessly." "The poor give us much more than we give them. They're such strong people, living day to day with no food. and they never curse, never complain. We don't have to give them pity or sympathy. We have so much to learn from them." "Speak tenderly to them. Let
there be kindness
in your face, in your eyes, in your smile, in the warmth of your
greeting.
Always have a cheerful smile. Don't only give your care, but give your
heart as well. " On Excess and waste On Faith On Criticism |
