The way to plan the family is natural family planning not contraception. In destroying the power of giving life, through contraception, a husband or wife is doing something to self, and so it destroys the gift of life in him or her
Mother TeresaRead
Humility is the mother of all virtues; purity, charity and obedience. It is in being humble that our love becomes real, devoted and ardent. If you are humble nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace, because you know what you are. If you are blamed you will not be discouraged. If they call you a saint you will not put yourself on a pedestal.
Interpretation
Humility is essential for cultivating true virtues and maintaining a balanced perspective on oneself.
This quote by Mother Teresa emphasizes the importance of humility as the foundation for all virtues, such as purity, charity, and obedience. It suggests that a humble person is grounded and unaffected by external opinions or judgments, thus allowing their love and actions to be sincere and deeply committed. By understanding and accepting one's true self, an individual can navigate both praise and criticism without losing their sense of purpose or self-worth.
