The mass is the spiritual food that sustains me, without which I could not get through one single day or hour in my life; in the mass we have Jesus in the appearance of bread. While in the slums we see Christ and touch him in the broken bodies, in the abandoned children.
Mother TeresaPrayer to be fruitful must come from the heart and must be able to touch the heart of God.
Mother TeresaIf our bones were not sending whispers of doubt to our hearts, there would be no need for prayer at all.
Mother TeresaMary, my dearest Mother, give me your heart so beautiful, so pure, so immaculate, your heart so full of love and humility, that I may be able to receive Jesus in the Bread of Life, love Him as you loved Hitn and serve Him in the distressing disguise of the poorest of the poor.
Mother Teresa
