Each of us is merely a small instrument; all of us, after accomplishing our mission, will disappear.
Mother TeresaI always say "if you are afraid of them (the unborn), give them to me. Please, don't kill them."
Mother TeresaYou can find Calcutta anywhere in the world. You only need two eyes to see. Everywhere in the world there are people that are not loved, people that are not wanted nor desired, people that no one will help, people that are pushed away or forgotten. And this is the greatest poverty.
Mother TeresaNever let anything so fill you with sorrow as to make you forget the joy of Christ risen.
Mother TeresaWe never try to convert those who receive (aid) to Christianity but in our work we bear witness to the love of God's presence and if Catholics, Protestants, Buddhists, or agnostics become for this better men - simply better - we will be satisfied. It matters to the individual what church he belongs to. If that individual thinks and believes that this is the only way to God for her or him, this is the way God comes into their life - his life. If he does not know any other way and if he has no doubt so that he does not need to search then this is his way to salvation.
