Then we have the silence of the eyes which will always help us to see God. Our eyes are like two windows through which Christ or the world comes to our hearts. Often we need great courage to keep them closed. How often we say, I wish I had not seen this thing, and yet we take so little trouble to overcome the desire to see everything.
Mother TeresaPrayer to be fruitful must come from the heart and must be able to touch the heart of God.
Mother TeresaIf you want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.
Mother TeresaI pray that you will understand the words of Jesus, โLove one another as I have loved you.โ Ask yourself โHow has he loved me? Do I really love others in the same way?โ Unless this love is among us, we can kill ourselves with work and it will only be work, not love. Work without love is slavery.
Mother Teresa
