Mother Teresa

Abortion is profoundly anti-women.

Silence came before creation, and the heavens were spread without a word

Souls of prayer are souls of great silence

We do our work for Jesus and with Jesus. It's not a matter of praying some times and working others. We pray the work.

Be kind and merciful. Let no one ever come to you without coming away better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness.

Give! Give the love you have received to those around you. You must love with your time, your hands, and your hearts. You need to share all that you have.

What you are doing I cannot do, what I'm doing you cannot do, but together we are doing something beautiful for God, and this is the greatness of God's love for us-To give us the opportunity to become holy through the works of love that we do because holiness is not the luxury of the few.

Doctors can heal the body, but it is music that uplifts the spirit.

The fullness of our heart is expressed in our eyes, in our touch, in what we write, in what we say, in the way we walk, the way we receive, the way we serve.

Do not worry about your career. Concern yourself with your vocation, and that is to be lovers of Jesus.

Holiness consists of doing the will of God with a smile.

Make sure that you let God's grace work in your souls by accepting whatever He gives you, and giving Him whatever He takes from you. True holiness consists in doing God's work with a smile.

You can pray while you work. Work doesn't stop prayer and prayer doesn't stop work. It requires only that small raising of the mind to him: I love you God, I trust you, I believe in you, I need you now. Small things like that. They are wonderful prayers.

One thing I ask you to do, you people who have _x000D_ the pen in your hand, allow God to use you so that you never write _x000D_ anything that will destroy, that will hurt, but always take the trouble _x000D_ to write something beautiful, to help the people to see better, to love _x000D_ better, to come closer... to each other.

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

Holiness is not the luxury of a few people, but a simple duty for you and me.

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

God didn't call me to be successful, He called me to be faithful.

Unless a life is lived for others, it is not worthwhile.

Life is a song, sing it. Life is a struggle, accept it.

There is no key to happiness; the door is always open
