Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.
Mother TeresaDo you want to do something beautiful for God? There is a person who needs you. This is your chance.
Mother TeresaOne day I met a lady who was dying of cancer in a most terrible condition. And I told her, I say, "You know, this terrible pain is only the kiss of Jesus - a sign that you have come so close to Jesus on the cross that he can kiss you."
Mother TeresaMany people (who go to her as volunteers) have found peace, joy and unity in their families by helping the poor.
Mother TeresaThere is but one love of Jesus, as there is but one person in the poor - Jesus. We take vows of chastity to love Christ with undivided love; to be able to love him with undivided love we take a vow of poverty which frees us from all material possessions, and with that freedom we can love him with undivided love, and from this vow of undivided love we surrender ourselves totally to him in the person who takes his place.
