It takes a checkbook to change the world

I try to give to the poor people for love what the rich could get for money. No, I wouldn't touch a leper for a thousand pounds; yet I willingly cure him for the love of God.

If you cannot feed one hundred hungry people, then just feed one really well.

I used to pray that God would feed the hungry, or do this or that, but now I pray that he will guide me to do whatever I'm supposed to do, what I can do. I used to pray for answers, but now I'm praying for strength. I used to believe that prayer changes things, but now I know that prayer changes us and we change things.

I realized that I had the call to take care of the sick and the dying, the hungry, the naked, the homeless - to be God's Love in action to the poorest of the poor. That was the beginning of the Missionaries of Charity.

If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.

God does not demand that I be successful. God demands that I be faithful. When facing God, results are not important. Faithfulness is what is important.
