"Be kind and merciful. Let no one ever come to you without coming away better and happier. Be the living expression of
God's kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting....To
children, to the poor, to all who suffer and are lonely, give always a happy smile--Give them not only your care, but also
your heart."
MOTHER THERESA
"If you judge people, you have no time to love them."
Mother Theresa
"If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other. We have forgotten that we are all
neighbors, and that peace for the world can begin with being peaceful toward others."
Mother Theresa
"True love causes pain. Jesus, in order to give us the proof of his love, died on the cross. A mother, in order to give
birth to her baby, has to suffer. If you really love one another, you will not be able to avoid making sacrifices."
Mother Theresa
"It is poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish."
Mother Theresa
"It is not how much we do, but how much love we put in the doing. It is not how much we give, but how much love we put
in the giving." - Mother Theresa
"To God there is nothing small. The moment we have given it to God, it becomes infinite." - Mother Theresa
"You have to be holy in your position as you are, and I have to be holy in the position that God has put me. So it is
nothing extraordinary to be holy. Holiness is not the luxury of the few. Holiness is a simple duty for you and for me. We
have been created for that." - Mother Theresa
"Holiness does not consist in doing extraordinary things. It consists in accepting, with a smile, what Jesus sends us.
It consists in accepting and following the will of God." Mother Theresa
"Prayer makes your heart bigger, until it is capable of containing the gift of God Himself." Mother Theresa
"Prayer is not asking. Prayer is putting oneself in the hands of God, at his disposition, and listening to his voice
in the depths of our hearts." Mother Theresa
"Any country that accepts abortion, is not teaching its people to love, but to use any violence to get what it wants."
Mother Theresa
"What is taking place in America is a war against the child. And if we accept that the mother can kill her own child,
how can we tell other people not to kill one another?" Mother Theresa
"One day we will all be judged on the way we have loved one another. This is the essential truth of the gospel."
--Fr. John Catoir
