This is one
famous Mother Teresa quote that speaks to her universal caring:
There is only one God
and He is God to all;
therefore it is important that everyone is seen as equal before God.
I've always said we should help a Hindu become a better Hindu,
a Muslim become a better Muslim,
a Catholic become a better Catholic.
I see God in every human
being. When I wash the leper's wounds, I feel I am nursing the Lord
Himself. Is it not a beautiful experience?
The poor give us much
more than we give them. They’re such strong people, living day to day
with no food. And they never curse, never complain. We don’t have to
give them pity or sympathy. We have so much to learn from them.
This famous
Mother Teresa quote captures so wonderfully her anxious approach to
solving problems:
Yesterday
is gone.
Tomorrow has not yet come.
We have only today.
Let us begin.
If
we have no peace,
it is because we have forgotten
that we belong to each other.
Little
things are indeed little,
but to be faithful in little things is a
great thing.
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.
Nakedness
is not only for a piece of clothing;
nakedness is lack of human dignity,
and also that beautiful virtue of purity,
and lack of that respect for each other.
There
is a terrible hunger for love.
We all experience that in our lives - the pain, the loneliness.
We must have the courage to recognize it.
The poor you may have right in your own family.
Find them.
Love them.
Speak
tenderly to them.
Let there be kindness in your face,
in your eyes, in your smile,
in the warmth of your greeting.
Always have a cheerful smile.
Don't only give your care,
but give your heart as well.
If
you are humble nothing will touch you,
neither praise nor disgrace,
because you know what you are.
Do
not allow yourselves to be disheartened
by any failure as long as you have done your best.
If
we really want to love
we must learn how to forgive.
If
we pray, we will believe;
If we believe, we will love
If we love, we will serve.
We
can do no great things;
only small things with great love.
Only
in heaven will we see how much we owe to the poor
for helping us to love God better because of them.
This famous Mother Teresa quote
might set the stage
for every single life:
God
doesn't require us to succeed;
he only requires that we try.
I
have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts,
then there is no hurt.
