mother teresa


today i received an email from someone confirming a meeting that i have at church. he included an attachment with his favorite mother teresa quotes. i wanted to keep them, so i figure i will keep them here. my favorite two are in orange. i love her.

If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one. Mother Teresa

Let 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. Mother Teresa

Peace begins with a smile. Mother Teresa

Sweetest Lord, make me appreciative of the dignity of my high vocation, and its many responsibilities. Never permit me to disgrace it by giving way to coldness, unkindness, or impatience. Mother Teresa

God doesn’t require us to succeed; he only requires that you try. Mother Teresa

Give yourself fully to God. He will use you to accomplish great things on the condition that you believe much more in His love than in your own weakness. Mother Teresa

If you want to make peace, you don’t talk to your friends. You talk to your enemies. Mother Teresa

Each one of them is Jesus in disguise. Mother Teresa

Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing. Mother Teresa

I am 100% with you on loving Mother Teresa. I've bought my mother a few of her books over the years on special days (birthdays, Christmas) and am hoping to inherit! :)

Great quotes...i think I'll bookmark this post and go back to it often. Keep sharing...she's wonderful.

I'm a fan on FB...updates say she's close to becoming made a Saint (officially). That day will be great!
