It is only when you realize your nothingness, your emptiness, that God can fill you with Himself.
Mother TeresaJoy is strength- Joy is love - Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls. She gives most who gives with Joy.
Mother TeresaDo not think that love in order to be genuine has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired. Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.
Mother TeresaIf you hold an anti-war rally, I shall not attend. But if you hold a Pro-Peace rally invite me.
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.
