I believe God loves the world through us - through you and through me. We use Mother Teresa's name; it is only a name, but we are real co-workers and carriers of His love. Today God loves the world through us. Especially in times like these when people are trying to make God "was," it is you and I, by our love, by the purity of our lives, by our compassion, who prove to the world that God "is."
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 TeresaThe fruit of love is service. The fruit of service is peace. And peace begins with a smile.
Mother TeresaPeace begins with a smile. I will never understand all the good that a simple smile can accomplish.
Mother TeresaIf we were humble, nothing would change us-neither praise nor discouragement. If someone were to criticize us, we would not feel discouraged. If someone would praise us, we also would not feel proud.
Mother TeresaBe faithful to the time spent in prayer and make sure that at least half of your prayer is spent in silence. This will bring you closer to Jesus. If you deepen your prayer life you will grow in holiness and obtain many graces for the souls entrusted to your care. Deepen your love for one another by praying for each other and by sharing thoughts and graces you have received in prayer and reading.
