The openness of our hearts and minds can be measured by how wide we draw the circle of what we call family.
Mother TeresaAll we do our prayers our work our suffering is for Jesus. Our life has no other reason or motivation.
Mother TeresaI want you to find the poor here, right in your own home first. And begin love there. Be that good news to your own people.
Mother TeresaWe too are called to withdraw at certain intervals into deeper silence and aloneness with God, together as a community as well as personally; to be alone with Him — not with our books, thoughts, and memories but completely stripped of everything — to dwell lovingly in His presence, silent, empty, expectant, and motionless. We cannot find God in noise or agitation.
