Every human being in that case resembles Christ in his loneliness; and that is the hardest part, that's real hunger.
Mother TeresaEven when the urgent is good, the good can keep you from your best, keep you from your unique contribution, if you let it.
Mother TeresaI always say "if you are afraid of them (the unborn), give them to me. Please, don't kill them."
Mother TeresaThere are some people who, in order not to pray use as an excuse the fact that life is so hectic that it prevents us from praying. This cannot be. Prayer does not demand that we interrupt our work, but that we continue working as if it were a prayer. It is not necessary to always be in meditation, nor to consciously experience the sensation that we are talking to God, no matter how nice that would be. What matters is being with Him, living in Him, in His will. To love with a pure heart, to love everybody, especially to live the poor, is a twenty-four hour prayer.
