Our progress in holiness depends on God and ourselves - on God's grace and on our will to be holy.
Mother TeresaJoy is a sign of generosity. When you are full of joy, you move faster and you want to go about doing good to everyone.
Mother TeresaSometimes people can hunger for more than bread. It is possible that our children, our husband, our wife, do not hunger for bread, do not need clothes, do not lack a house. But are we equally sure that none of them feels alone, abandonded, neglected, needing some affection? That, too, is poverty.
