Everything starts from prayer. Without asking God for love, we cannot possess love and still less are we able to give it to others. Just as people today are speaking so much about the poor but they do not know or talk to the poor, we too cannot talk so much about prayer and yet not know how to pray.
Mother TeresaBe kind to each other. It is better to commit faults with gentleness than to work miracles with unkindness.
Mother TeresaWhatever we get from the government or other people - even one rupee we get, we give it to the poor. Completely free service.
Mother TeresaAs Lent is the time for greater love, listen to Jesus' thirst...'Repen t and believe' Jesus tells us. What are we to repent? Our indifference, our hardness of heart. What are we to believe? Jesus thirsts even now, in your heart and in the poor -- He knows your weakness. He wants only your love, wants only the chance to love you.
