Our life of contemplation shall retain the following characteristics: โmissionary: by going out physically or in spirit in search of souls all over the universe. โcontemplative: by gathering the whole universe at the very center of our hearts where the Lord of the universe abides, and allowing the pure water of divine grace to flow plentifully and unceasingly from the source itself, on the whole of his creation. โuniversal: by praying and contemplating with all and for all, especially with and for the spiritually poorest of the poor.
Mother TeresaIt is not what to do, but how much love we put into the doing. We can do not greats, only small things with great love." - Mother Theresa
Mother TeresaWe need prayer to understand God's love for us. If we really mean to pray and want to pray we must be ready to do it now. These are only the first steps towards prayer but if we never make the first step with determination, we will not reach the last one: the presence of God
Mother TeresaI don't claim anything of the work. It is his work. I am like a little pencil in his hand. That is all. He does the thinking. He does the writing. The pencil has nothing to do with it.
