Mother Teresa

There are two victims in every abortion: a dead baby and a dead conscience.

Once that living love is destroyed by contraception, abortion follows very easily.

People are generally irrational, unreasonable and selfish. They deserve to be loved, anyway.

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

It is much easier to conquer a country than to conquer ourselves.

Be humble and you will never be disturbed. It is very difficult in practice because we all want to see the result of our work. Leave it to Jesus.

What you do to these men on California's Death Row, you do to God.

Open your hearts to the love God instills . . . God loves you tenderly. What He gives you is not to be kept under lock and key, but to be shared.

We cannot separate our lives from the Eucharist; the moment we do, something breaks. People ask, 'Where do the sisters get the joy and the energy to do what they are doing?' The Eucharist involves more than just receiving; it also involves satisfying the hunger of Christ. He says, 'Come to Me.' He is hungry for souls.

To be alone with Jesus in adoration and intimate union with Him is the Greatest Gift of Love - the tender love of Our Father in Heaven.

Perpetual Adoration, Eucharistic Adoration offers to our people the opportunity to join those in religious life to pray for the salvation of the world, souls everywhere and peace on earth. We cannot underestimate the power of prayer and the difference it will make in our world

Put your sins in the chalice for the precious blood to wash away. One drop is capable of washing away the sins of the world.

Prayer enlarges the heart until it is capable of containing God's gift of Himself.

We are at Jesus' disposal. If he wants you to be sick in bed, if he wants you to proclaim His work in the street, if he wants you to clean the toilets all day, that's all right, everything is all right. We must say, "I belong to you. You can do whatever you like." And this ..is our strength, and this is the joy of the Lord.

Gratitude to God is to accept everything, even my problems, with joy.

The Cross will be for us as it was for Christ: proof of the greatest love.

The more we can give in our silent prayer, the more we can give in our active life.

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.

If faith is lacking, it is because there is too much selfishness, too much concern for personal gain. For faith to be true, it has to be generous and loving. Love and faith go together, they complete each other.

Silence of the heart is necessary so you can hear God everywhere - in the closing of the door, in the person who needs you, in the birds that sing, in the flowers, in the animals.

Suffering can become a means to greater love and greater generosity.
