Mother Teresa Quotes

we cannot give what we have not got

Love has a hem to her garment that reaches the very dust. It sweeps the stains from the streets and lanes, and because it can, it must.

Make every effort to walk in the presence of God, to see God in everyone you meet, and to live your morning meditation throughout the day.

Love Jesus — live with Jesus that you may live for Jesus. M. Teresa45

Jesus continues to live his passion. He continues to fall, poor and hungry, just like he fell on the way to Calvary. Are we at his side to volunteer to help him? Do we walk next to him with our sacrifice with our piece of bread - real bread - to help him get over his weakness?

And whatever you did to the least of my brethren, you did it to me.

If I look at the mass I will never act. If I look at the one, I will.

Be kind and merciful. Let no one ever come to you without coming away better and happier.

St. Augustine wrote at the beginning of his Confessions: “You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in you.” It

God will send” was the reply. Piles of hampers, we were not short. Mother’s faith and trust in God was something living, had become part of herself, one could sense it; yes, one could see Mother had a close Friend, powerful and faithful, working with her all the time.
