We should not serve the poor like they were Jesus. We should serve the poor because they are Jesus.
Mother TeresaPeople are hungry for God. What [a] terrible meeting [it] would be with our neighbour if we give them only ourselves.
Mother TeresaFaith in action is love, and love in action is service. By transforming that faith into living acts of love, we put ourselves in contact with God Himself, with Jesus our Lord.
Mother TeresaMany people are very, very concerned with the children in India, with the children in Africa where quite a number die, maybe of malnutrition, of hunger and so on, but millions are dying deliberately by the will of the mother. And this is what is the greatest destroyer of peace today. Because if a mother can kill her own child - what is left for me to kill you and you kill me -- there is nothing between.
