You may be exhausted with work, you may even kill yourself, but unless your work is interwoven with love, it is useless. To work without love is slavery.
Mother TeresaIf you are humble nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace, because you know what you are.
Mother TeresaThough we are involved in social work, our goal is to be contemplatives at the heart of the world. We are with Jesus twenty-four hours a day. We do everything for Jesus. We do it all unto Jesus.
Mother TeresaOur progress in holiness depends on God and ourselves - on God's grace and on our will to be holy.
Mother TeresaWhere does love begin? In our own homes. When does it begin? When we pray together. The family that prays together stays together.
Mother TeresaBy abortion the Mother does not learn to love, but kills her own child to solve her problems. And, by abortion, that father is told that he does not have to take any responsibility at all for the child he has brought into the world. The father is likely to put other women to the same trouble. So abortion leads to more abortion.
