We complicate prayer as we complicate many things. It is to love Jesus with undivided love-for you, for me, for all of us. And that undivided love is put into action when we do as Jesus said, love as I have loved you

Do not look for Jesus away from yourselves. He is not out there; He is in you. Keep your lamp burning, and you will recognize him.

Without out suffering, our work would just be social work, very good and helpful, but it would not be the work of Jesus Christ, not part of the Redemption. All the desolation of the poor people, not only their material poverty, but their spiritual destitution, must be redeemed. And we must share it, for only by being one with them can we redeem them by bringing God into their lives and bringing them to God.

Spiritual, Jesus, People

Lord give me this seeing faith, then my work will never be monotonous. I will find joy in humoring the fancies and gratifying the wishes of all poor sufferers. O beloved sick, how doubly dear you are to me, when you personify Christ; and what a privilege is mine to be allowed to tend you.

Giving, Sick, Joy

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

Jesus, Night, Keys

A family that prays together stays together. As we are united at this moment, let us join also the prayer of all and everyone. What you can do I cannot do. And what I can do you cannot do. But all of us together are doing something beautiful for God.

Beautiful, Prayer, Together

Every human being in that case resembles Christ in his loneliness; and that is the hardest part, that's real hunger.

Real, Loneliness, Hunger

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

I will not pray clarity for you. Clarity is the crutch of the Christian. But I will pray trust for you, that your trust will increase.

Christian, Clarity, Praying

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

Want, Able, Christ

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

The mass is the spiritual food that sustains me, without which I could not get through one single day or hour in my life; in the mass we have Jesus in the appearance of bread. While in the slums we see Christ and touch him in the broken bodies, in the abandoned children.

Spiritual, Jesus, Children

Mother Teresa (1987). “My Life for the Poor”

Then we have the silence of the eyes which will always help us to see God. Our eyes are like two windows through which Christ or the world comes to our hearts. Often we need great courage to keep them closed. How often we say, I wish I had not seen this thing, and yet we take so little trouble to overcome the desire to see everything.

Heart, Eye, Two

Be perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect.

Father, Perfect, Heaven

Jesus, Heart, Silence

Mother Teresa (2008). “Jesus is My All in All: Praying with the "Saint of Calcutta"”, p.16, Image

If we are Christians, we must look like Christ - this is my deep conviction.

Faith, Christian, Inspiration

When a poor person dies I want then to die in the arms of somebody who loves them. I want them to be able to look for the last time into the eyes of somebody who cares for them

Eye, Who Cares, Looks

There is but one love of Jesus, as there is but one person in the poor - Jesus. We take vows of chastity to love Christ with undivided love; to be able to love him with undivided love we take a vow of poverty which frees us from all material possessions, and with that freedom we can love him with undivided love, and from this vow of undivided love we surrender ourselves totally to him in the person who takes his place.

Love, Jesus, Able

Anybody who helps the poor is delighted. So naturally, they (critics) are not very happy with us.

Helping, Poor, Critics
