Abortion
is murder in the womb...A child is a gift of God. If you do
not want him, give him to me. Mother Teresa
At
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 to eat, I was naked and you clothed me, I was homeless and
you took me in.' Hungry not only for bread - but hungry for
love. Naked not only for clothing - but naked for human dignity
and respect. Homeless not only for want of a room of bricks
- but homeless because of rejection. Mother Teresa
Be
faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength
lies. Mother Teresa
Being
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 . . . We must find each other. Mother Teresa
By
blood and origin I am Albanian. My citizenship is Indian. I
am a Catholic nun. As to my calling, I belong to the whole world.
As to my heart, I belong entirely to the heart of Jesus. Mother Teresa
God
will find another person, more humble, more devoted, more obedient
to him, and the society will go on. Mother Teresa Calcutta 1989, after announcing her intention
to retire
Humility
is the mother of all virtues; purity, charity and obedience.
It is in being humble that our love becomes real, devoted and
ardent. If you are humble nothing will touch you, neither praise
nor disgrace, because you know what you are. If you are blamed
you will not be discouraged. If they call you a saint you will
not put yourself on a pedestal. Mother Teresa
I
choose the poverty of our poor people. But I am grateful to
receive (the Nobel) in the name of the hungry, the naked, the
homeless, of the crippled, of the blind, of the lepers, of all
those people who feel unwanted, unloved, uncared-for throughout
society, people that have become a burden to the society and
are shunned by everyone. Mother Teresa Accepting the Nobel Peace Prize, 1979
I
have never been in a war before, but I have seen famine and
death. I was asking (myself), 'What do they feel when they do
this?' I don't understand it. They are all children of God.
Why do they do it? I don't understand. Mother Teresa Beirut 1982, during fighting between the Israeli
army and Palestinian guerrillas
I
know God won't give me anything I can't handle; I just wish
He didn't trust me so much. Mother Teresa
