I think that we in our family don’t need bombs and guns, to destroy to bring peace – just get together, love one another, bring that peace, that joy, that strength of presence of each other in the home. And we will be able to overcome all the evil that is in the world.

Additional quotes by Mother Teresa

Never let anyone come to you without coming away better and happier. Everyone should see goodness in your face, in your eyes, in your smile.

Mothers are at the heart of the family. Children need their mothers. If the mother is there, the children will be there too. For the family to be whole, the children and the mother also need the father to be present in the home.

Keep the joy of loving God
in your heart
and share this joy
with all you meet
especially your family.
Be holy — let us pray.
