Listen in silence because if your heart is full of other things you cannot hear the voice of God
Mother TeresaEach of us is merely a small instrument; all of us, after accomplishing our mission, will disappear.
Mother TeresaWhen Christ said: "I was hungry and you fed me," he didn't mean only the hunger for bread and for food; he also meant the hunger to be loved. Jesus himself experienced this loneliness.
Mother TeresaShe lived almost fifty years of her life completely dedicated to the care of the poor and the marginalized. Astonishingly, for those nearly fifty years she identified completely with the poor she served by her own experience of being seemingly unwanted and unloved by God. In a mystical way — through this painful interior "darkness" — she tasted their greatest poverty of being "unwanted, unloved, and uncared for."
