I always begin my prayer in silence, for it is in the silence of the heart that God speaks. God is the friend of silence-we need to listen to God because it's not what we say but what He says to us and through us that matters.

Prayer, Heart, Silence

Mother Teresa (1995). “A Simple Path-Open Market”

He who is faultless does not care for the opinion of others.

Doe, Care, Opinion

In reality, there is only one true prayer, only one substantial prayer: Christ himself. There is only one voice which rises above the face of the earth, the voice of Christ. Prayer is oneness with Christ.

Prayer, Reality, Voice

Jesus has made Himself the Bread of Life to give us life. Night and day, He is there. If you really want to grow in love, come back to the Eucharist, come back to that Adoration.

Christian, Jesus, Night

Purity is the fruit of prayer.

Work without love is slavery.

Faith, Work, Love Is

Mother Teresa (2016). “No Greater Love, Commemorative Edition”, p.69, New World Library

Holy Angels, our advocates, our brothers, our counselors, our defenders, our enlighteners, our friends, our guides, our helpers, our intercessors - Pray for us.

Brother, Angel, Praying

If you want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.

Love, Motherhood, Burning Heart

We are not social workers. We are contemplatives in the heart of the world.

Heart, World, Social Worker

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.

God, Mother, Determination

Mother Teresa (2001). “Mother Teresa: Essential Writings”

Gandhi felt fascinated at knowing Christ. He met Christians, and felt let down.

Christian, Knowing, Let Down

I still think that the greatest suffering is being lonely, feeling unloved, just having no one... That is the worst disease that any human being can ever experience.

Lonely, Thinking, Feelings

Mother Teresa of Calcutta (2010). “In the Heart of the World: Thoughts, Stories & Prayers (Easyread Large Edition)”, p.5, ReadHowYouWant.com

If our poor die of hunger, it is not because God does not care for them. Rather, it is because neither you nor I are generous enough. It is because we are not instruments of love in the hands of God. We do not recognize Christ when once again He appears to us in the hungry man, in the lonely woman, in the child who is looking for a place to get warm.

Lonely, Children, Men

The humility of Jesus can be seen in the crib, in the exile to Egypt, in the hidden life, in the inability to make people understand Him, in the desertion of His apostles, in the hatred of His persecutors, in all the terrible suffering and death of His Passion, and now in His permanent state of humility in the tabernacle, where He has reduced Himself to such a small particle of bread that the priest can hold Him with two fingers. The more we empty ourselves, the more room we give God to fill us.

Jesus, Passion, Humility

Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration with exposition needs a great push. People ask me: 'What will convert America and save the world?' My answer is prayer. What we need is for every parish to come before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament in holy hours of prayer.

Jesus, Prayer, Blessed

I feel the greatest destroyer of peace today is 'Abortion', because it is a war against the child... A direct killing of the innocent child, 'Murder' by the mother herself... And if we can accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another? How do we persuade a woman not to have an abortion? As always, we must persuade her with love... And we remind ourselves that love means to be willing to give until it hurts.

Mother, Hurt, Children

I think that before people were speaking much about the poor, but now more and more people are speaking to the poor. That is the great difference.

Thinking, Differences, People

I try to give to the poor people for love what the rich could get for money.

Love, Money, People

Mother Teresa (2001). “Mother Teresa: Essential Writings”

We need to realize that poverty doesn't only consist of being hungry for bread, but rather it is a tremendous hunger for human dignity. We need to love and to be someone for someone else

Needs, Poverty, Bread

Let us be very sincere in our dealings with each other and have the courage to accept each other as we are.

Sincere, Accepting, Dealings

Mother Teresa (2016). “No Greater Love, Commemorative Edition”, p.45, New World Library

I have come to realize more and more that the greatest disease and the greatest suffering is to be unwanted, unloved, uncared for, to be shunned by everybody, to be just nobody.

Suffering, Disease, Realizing

Get to know the poor in your country. Love them. Serve them.

Country, Humanity, Poor

Prayer makes your heart bigger, until it is capable of containing the gift of God himself. Prayer begets faith, faith begets love, and love begets service on behalf of the poor.

Prayer, Heart, And Love

I was once asked why I don't participate in anti-war demonstrations. I said that I will never do that, but as soon as you have a pro-peace rally, I'll be there.
