If sometimes our poor people have had to die of starvation, it is not that God didn't care for them, but because you and I didn't give, were not an instrument of love in the hands of God, to give them that bread, to give them that clothing; because we did not recognize him, when once more Christ came in distressing disguise, in the hungry man, in the lonely man, in the homeless child, and seeking for shelter.
Mother TeresaThank God we don't serve God with our feelings, otherwise I don't know where I would be. - Pray for me.
Mother TeresaDo not look for Jesus away from yourselves. He is not out there; He is in you. Keep your lamp burning, and you will recognize him.
Mother TeresaThere are many people who can do big things, but there are very few people who will do the small things.
Mother TeresaTo students: I pray that all those young people who have graduated, do not carry just a piece of paper with them but that they carry with them love, peace and joy. That they become the sunshine of God's love to our people, the hope of eternal happiness and the burning flame of love wherever they go. That they become carriers of God's love. That they be able to give what they have received. For they have received not to keep, but to share.
