She dedicated her life to serving the poorest of the poor in the slums of Calcutta, India. In 1950, she founded the Missionaries of Charity, a religious congregation devoted to caring for the destitute, sick, and dying. Known for her unwavering devotion to the needy, Mother Teresa’s work extended worldwide, touching countless lives with love and care. Her humility, kindness, and tireless efforts earned her global recognition and numerous accolades, including the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979. She passed away on September 5, 1997, leaving a profound legacy of love and service.
If we pray, we will believe; If we believe, we will love; If we love, we will serve.
Author: Mother TeresaWe have not come into the world to be numbered; we have been created for a purpose; for great things – to love and be loved.
Author: Mother TeresaLove is not patronizing and charity isn’t about pity, it is about love. Charity and love are the same — with charity you give love, so don’t just give money but reach out your hand instead.
Author: Mother TeresaThe person who gives with a smile is the best giver because God loves a cheerful giver.
Author: Mother TeresaDo you want to do something beautiful for God? There is a person who needs you. This is your chance.
Author: Mother TeresaThere must be a reason why some people can afford to live well. They must have worked for it. I only feel angry when I see waste. When I see people throwing away things that we could use.
Author: Mother TeresaNever worry about numbers. Help one person at a time and always start with the person nearest you.
Author: Mother TeresaHow can there be too many children? That is like saying there are too many flowers.
Author: Mother TeresaI would rather make mistakes in kindness and compassion than work miracles in unkindness and hardness
Author: Mother TeresaThere is a light in this world, a healing spirit more powerful than any darkness we may encounter.
Author: Mother TeresaThe success of love is in the loving – it is not in the result of loving. Of course it is natural in love to want the best for the other person, but whether it turns out that way or not does NOT determine the value of what we have done.
Author: Mother TeresaLet us not be satisfied with just giving money. Money is not enough, money can be got, but they need your hearts to love them. So, spread your love everywhere you go.
Author: Mother TeresaIt is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish.
Author: Mother TeresaYour true character is most accurately measured by how you treat those who can do ‘Nothing’ for you.
Author: Mother TeresaGod made the world for the delight of human beings– if we could see His goodness everywhere, His concern for us, His awareness of our needs: the phone call we’ve waited for, the ride we are offered, the letter in the mail, just the little things He does for us throughout the day. As we remember and notice His love for us, we just begin to fall in love with Him because He is so busy with us — you just can’t resist Him. I believe there’s no such thing as luck in life, it’s God’s love, it’s His.
Author: Mother TeresaI try to give to the poor people for love what the rich could get for money. No, I wouldn’t touch a leper for a thousand pounds; yet I willingly cure him for the love of God.
Author: Mother TeresaIf you are humble nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace, because you know what you are.
Author: Mother TeresaWithout patience, we will learn less in life. We will see less. We will feel less. We will hear less. Ironically, rush and more usually mean less.
Author: Mother TeresaI want you to be concerned about your next-door neighbor. Do you know your next-door neighbor?
Author: Mother TeresaIt is easy to love the people far away. It is not always easy to love those close to us. It is easier to give a cup of rice to relieve hunger than to relieve the loneliness and pain of someone unloved in our own home. Bring love into your home for this is where our love for each other must start.
Author: Mother TeresaI’m a little pencil in the hand of a writing God, who is sending a love letter to the world.
Author: Mother TeresaDo not worry about why problems exist in the world – just respond to people’s needs.
Author: Mother TeresaEverybody today seems to be in such a terrible rush, anxious for greater developments and greater riches and so on, so that children have very little time for their parents. Parents have very little time for each other, and in the home begins the disruption of peace of the world.
Author: Mother TeresaNothing makes you happier than when you really reach out in mercy to someone who is badly hurt.
Author: Mother TeresaEven the rich are hungry for love, for being cared for, for being wanted, for having someone to call their own.
Author: Mother TeresaLove cannot remain by itself – it has no meaning. Love has to be put into action, and that action is service.
Author: Mother TeresaAt the end of life we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made, how many great things we have done. We will be judged by “I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat, I was naked and you clothed me. I was homeless, and you took me in.
Author: Mother TeresaLet us touch the dying, the poor, the lonely and the unwanted according to the graces we have received and let us not be ashamed or slow to do the humble work.
Author: Mother TeresaLife is love, enjoy it. Life is mystery, know it. Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Author: Mother TeresaI alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.
Author: Mother TeresaIf we want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.
Author: Mother TeresaWhenever you share love with others, you’ll notice the peace that comes to you and to them.
Author: Mother TeresaThere are many people who can do big things, but there are very few people who will do the small things.
Author: Mother TeresaIn the silence of the heart God speaks. If you face God in prayer and silence, God will speak to you. Then you will know that you are nothing. It is only when you realize your nothingness, your emptiness, that God can fill you with Himself. Souls of prayer are souls of great silence.
Author: Mother TeresaI have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.
Author: Mother TeresaIf we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.
Author: Mother TeresaI used to believe that prayer changes things, but now I know that prayer changes us, and we change things.
Author: Mother TeresaOur life of poverty is as necessary as the work itself. Only in heaven will we see how much we owe to the poor for helping us to love God better because of them.
Author: Mother TeresaI can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot; together we can do great things.
Author: Mother TeresaAt the heart of silence is prayer. At the heart of prayer is faith. At the heart of faith is life. At the heart of life is service.
Author: Mother TeresaLife is an opportunity, benefit from it. Life is beauty, admire it. Life is a dream, realize it.
Author: Mother TeresaPrayer is not asking. Prayer is putting oneself in the hands of God, at His disposition, and listening to His voice in the depth of our hearts.
Author: Mother TeresaSmile at each other. Smile at your wife, smile at your husband, smile at your children, smile at each other – it doesn’t matter who it is – and that will help to grow up in greater love for each other.
Author: Mother TeresaBe the living expression of God’s kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile.
Author: Mother TeresaGod has created us to love and to be loved, and this is the beginning of prayer-to know that He loves me, that I have been created for greater things.
Author: Mother TeresaThe hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.
Author: Mother TeresaI am not sure exactly what heaven will be like, but I know that when we die and it comes time for God to judge us, he will not ask, ‘How many good things have you done in your life?’ rather he will ask, ‘How much love did you put into what you did?
Author: Mother TeresaWe ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.
Author: Mother TeresaJoy is prayer; joy is strength; joy is love; joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls.
Author: Mother TeresaI never look at the masses as my responsibility. I look at the individual. I can love only one person at a time. I can feed only one person at a time. Just one, one, one.
Author: Mother TeresaKind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.
Author: Mother TeresaEvery time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.
Author: Mother TeresaBeing unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat.
Author: Mother TeresaSpread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.
Author: Mother TeresaI know God won’t give me anything I can’t handle. I just wish he didn’t trust me so much.
Author: Mother TeresaYesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.
