Love until it hurts. Real love is always painful and hurts: then it is real and pure.

Love until it hurts. Real love is always painful and hurts: then it is real and pure.

Love, Hurt, Pain

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

We cannot condemn or judge or pass words that will hurt people. We don't know in what way God is appearing to that soul and what God is drawing that soul to; therefore, who are we to condemn anybody?

Hurt, Drawing, People

In the final analysis it is between you and God, it was never between you and them anyway.

Finals, Analysis, Be Kind

Be faithful to the time spent in prayer and make sure that at least half of your prayer is spent in silence. This will bring you closer to Jesus. If you deepen your prayer life you will grow in holiness and obtain many graces for the souls entrusted to your care. Deepen your love for one another by praying for each other and by sharing thoughts and graces you have received in prayer and reading.

Jesus, Prayer, Reading

It is easy to love the people far away. It is not always easy to love those close to us. It is easier to give a cup of rice to relieve hunger than to relieve the loneliness and pain of someone unloved in our own home. Bring love into your home for this is where our love for each other must start.

Love, Inspirational, Pain

The future is not in our hands. We have no power over it. We can act only today. We have a sentence in our Constitution that says: 'We will allow the good God to make plans for the future - for yesterday has gone, tomorrow has not yet come and we have only today to make Him known, loved and served.' So we do not worry about the future.

Yesterday, Hands, Worry

Just show up and things will happen.

Shows, Happens

People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered. Love them anyway.... Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable. Be honest and frank anyway.... What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway. .. Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth. Give the world the best you've got anyway.

Honesty, Self, Years

It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish.

Life, Happiness, Success

Smile at each other. Smile at your wife, smile at your husband, smile at your children, smile at each other- it doesn't matter who it is- and that will help to grow up in greater love for each other.

Love, Family, Smile

Do not worry about why problems exist in the world - just respond to people's needs.

People, Worry, Needs

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

Every act of love is a work of peace no matter how small.

Love, Marriage, Matter

Mother Teresa, Mother Teresa of Calcutta (2010). “In the Heart of the World: Thoughts, Stories & Prayers”, p.37, New World Library

God does not require that we be successful only that we be faithful.

God, Faith, Successful

Be kind to each other. It is better to commit faults with gentleness than to work miracles with unkindness.

Miracle, Faults, Be Kind

Mother Teresa (2016). “No Greater Love, Commemorative Edition”, p.20, New World Library

Do you really know the living Jesus - not from books but from being with Him in your heart? Have you heard the loving words He speaks to you?... The devil may try to use the hurts of life, and sometimes our own mistakes - to make you feel it is impossible that Jesus really loves you, is really cleaving to you. This is a danger for all of us. And so sad, because it is completely the opposite of what Jesus is really wanting, waiting to tell you. Not only that He loves you, but even more - He longs for you.

Faith, Jesus, Hurt

In doing your best serving others for free, a lot of eyebrows will raise and sneers will curve many a - faces. But in the end those incredulous to what you put up with to help, no longer matter. It's not between you and those snobs, but with whom you have given your hand to lift, and of course to God who Is watching and noting it in your book.

Book, Curves, Hands

My secret is simple -- I pray.

Simple, Secret, Praying

Love cannot remain by itself - it has no meaning. Love has to be put into action and that action is service.

Love, Inspiring, Volunteer

Cheerfulness is a sign of a generous and mortified person who forgetting all things, even herself, tries to please her God in all she does for souls. Cheerfulness is often a cloak which hides a life of sacrifice and a continual union with God.

Sacrifice, Soul, Trying

Brian Kolodiejchuk, Mother Teresa (2012). “Mother Teresa: Come Be My Light: The revealing private writings of the Nobel Peace Prize winner”, p.33, Random House

When a poor person dies of hunger it has not happened because God did not take care of him or her. It has happened because neither you nor I wanted to give that person what he or she needed.

Mother, Hunger And Poverty, Hunger Poverty

Mother Teresa (1996). “In My Own Words”

God will never, never, never let us down if we have faith and put our trust in Him. He will always look after us. So we must cleave to Jesus. Our whole life must simply be woven into Jesus.

Jesus, Woven, Looks

Mother Teresa (1985). “Mother Teresa: Contemplative in the Heart of the World”

There are some people who, in order not to pray use as an excuse the fact that life is so hectic that it prevents us from praying. This cannot be. Prayer does not demand that we interrupt our work, but that we continue working as if it were a prayer. It is not necessary to always be in meditation, nor to consciously experience the sensation that we are talking to God, no matter how nice that would be. What matters is being with Him, living in Him, in His will. To love with a pure heart, to love everybody, especially to live the poor, is a twenty-four hour prayer.

Love, Prayer, Nice

It is very important that children learn from their fathers and mothers how to love one another- not in the school, not from the teacher, but from you. It is very important that you share with your children the joy of that smile. There will be misunderstandings; every family has its cross, its suffering. Always be the first to forgive with a smile. Be cheerful, be happy.

Mother, Teacher, Children

I'm a little pencil in the hand of a writing God, who is sending a love letter to the world.

Love, Marriage, God

Let us use love and compassion. Peace begins with a smile. Smile five times a day at someone you don't really want to smile at at all. Do it for peace.

Peace, Saint, Want
