Faith is more important to me than life itself because without it there would be no fullness of life.
Mother TeresaWe cannot separate our lives from the Eucharist; the moment we do, something breaks. People ask, 'Where do the sisters get the joy and the energy to do what they are doing?' The Eucharist involves more than just receiving; it also involves satisfying the hunger of Christ. He says, 'Come to Me.' He is hungry for souls.
Mother TeresaPrayer does not demand that we interrupt our work, but that we continue working as if it were a prayer.
Mother TeresaAnybody who helps the poor is delighted. So naturally, they (critics) are not very happy with us.
