We must not be surprised when we hear of murders, killings, of wars, or of hatred...If a mother can kill her own child, what is left but for us to kill each other?
Mother TeresaWe all long for heaven where God is, but we have it our power to be in heaven with him right now-to be happy with him at this very moment. But this means being: Loving as he loves, helping as he helps, giving as he gives, serving as he serves, rescuing as he rescues, being with him all 24 hours of the day, touching him in his distressing disguise.
Mother TeresaI want you to find the poor here, right in your own home first. And begin love there. Be that good news to your own people.
Mother TeresaEach of us is merely a small instrument; all of us, after accomplishing our mission, will disappear.
Mother Teresa
