Many people are very, very concerned with the children in India, with the children in Africa where quite a number die, maybe of malnutrition, of hunger and so on, but millions are dying deliberately by the will of the mother. And this is what is the greatest destroyer of peace today. Because if a mother can kill her own child - what is left for me to kill you and you kill me -- there is nothing between.
Mother TeresaIn loving one another through our works we bring an increase of grace and a growth in divine love.
Mother TeresaServe God joyfully. Let there be no sadness in your life: the only true sorrow is sin.
Mother TeresaI think the world today is upside down, and is suffering so much, because there is so very little love in the homes and in family life.
Mother TeresaPrayer in action is love, and love in action is service. Try to give unconditionally whatever a person needs in the moment. The point is to do something, however small, and show you care through your actions by giving your time ... Do not worry about why problems exist in the world - just respond to people's needs ... We feel what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean, but that ocean would be less without that drop.
