Mother Teresa, Mother Teresa of Calcutta (2010). “In the Heart of the World: Thoughts, Stories & Prayers”, p.13, New World Library

To students: I pray that all those young people who have graduated, do not carry just a piece of paper with them but that they carry with them love, peace and joy. That they become the sunshine of God's love to our people, the hope of eternal happiness and the burning flame of love wherever they go. That they become carriers of God's love. That they be able to give what they have received. For they have received not to keep, but to share.

The biggest disease today is not leprosy or tuberculosis, but rather the feeling of being unwanted.

Butterfly, Being In Love, Helping Others

Quoted in the Observer, 3 Oct 1971.

Christ came to be Father's compassion to the world. Be kind in your actions. Do not think that you are the only one who can do efficient work, work worth showing. This makes you harsh in your judgment of others who may not have the same talents. Do your best and trust that others do their best. And be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.

Father, Lying, Thinking

A Christian is the dwelling place of the living God. He created me, he chose me, He came to dwell in me, because he wanted me. Now that you have known how much God is in love with you it is but natural that you spend the rest of your life radiating that love.

Christian, Love You, Dwelling Place

Be not afraid. God loves you & wants us to love one another as He loves us. As miserable, weak and sinful as we are, He loves us with an infinitely faithful love.

Love You, Faithful, Want

Any country that accepts abortion is the poorest of the poor

As Lent is the time for greater love, listen to Jesus' thirst...'Repen t and believe' Jesus tells us. What are we to repent? Our indifference, our hardness of heart. What are we to believe? Jesus thirsts even now, in your heart and in the poor -- He knows your weakness. He wants only your love, wants only the chance to love you.

Jesus, Believe, Love You

I have never had clarity; what I have always had is trust. So I will pray that you will trust God.

Trust In God, Clarity, Praying

If you ever feel distressed during your day - call upon our Lady - just say this simple prayer: 'Mary, Mother of Jesus, please be a mother to me now.' I must admit - this prayer has never failed me.

Mother, Religious, Jesus

As far as I am concerned, the greatest suffering is to feel alone, unwanted, unloved. The greatest suffering is also having no one, forgetting what an intimate, truly human relationship is, not knowing what it means to be loved, not having a family or friends.

Mean, Knowing, Suffering

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

The very fact that God has placed a certain soul in our way is a sign that God wants us to do something for him or her. It is not chance; it has been planned by God. We are bound by conscience to help him or her.

Soul, Want, Way

I am not sure exactly what heaven will be like, but I know that when we die and it comes time for God to judge us, he will not ask, 'How many good things have you done in your life?' rather he will ask, 'How much love did you put into what you did?'

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. Find them. Love them.

Love, Mother, Pain

We realize that what we are accomplishing is a drop in the ocean. But if this drop were not in the ocean, it would be missed.

Have a great compassion for people. To be able to have a heart full of compassion, we need to pray. Especially be kind, be loving to the poor. We think we do so much for the poor, but it is they who make us rich. We are in debt to them. Do you want to do something beautiful for God? There is a person who needs you. This is your chance.

Beautiful, Heart, Compassion

If our bones were not sending whispers of doubt to our hearts, there would be no need for prayer at all.

Prayer, Heart, Doubt

I would rather make mistakes in kindness and compassion than work miracles in unkindness and hardness.

Inspirational, Kindness, Work

Everything starts from prayer. Without asking God for love, we cannot possess love and still less are we able to give it to others. Just as people today are speaking so much about the poor but they do not know or talk to the poor, we too cannot talk so much about prayer and yet not know how to pray.

Prayer, People, Giving

Jesus taught us how to forgive out of love, how to forget out of humility. So let us examine our hearts and see if there is any unforgiven hurt -- any unforgotten bitterness! It is easy to love those who are far away. It isn't always easy to love those who are right next to us. It is easier to offer food to the hungry than to answer the lonely suffering of someone who lacks love right in one

Lonely, Hurt, Jesus

It is more difficult to fight poverty in a rich country than in a poor one.

Country, Fighting, Rich Countries

It often happens that those who spend their time giving light to others, remain in darkness themselves.

Depression, Light, Giving

There must be a reason why some people can afford to live well. They must have worked for it. I only feel angry when I see waste. When I see people throwing away things we could use.

Mary, my dearest Mother, give me your heart so beautiful, so pure, so immaculate, your heart so full of love and humility, that I may be able to receive Jesus in the Bread of Life, love Him as you loved Hitn and serve Him in the distressing disguise of the poorest of the poor.
