Mother Teresa Quotes
There
is a mystical belief that ten angels walk amongst us, disguised as all
manner of people, old and young, rich and poor, from all nations.
Judging by this inspirational quote by Mother Teresa, I believe she would have liked
that belief.
The
dying, the cripple, the mental,
the unwanted, the unloved
they are Jesus in disguise.
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. Put your love for
them in living action. For in loving them, you are loving God Himself.
Those
who seek the voice of God in meditation understand well what is meant in
this inspirational quote by Mother Teresa:
Before
you speak,
it is necessary for you to listen,
for God speaks in the silence of the heart.
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.
To God there is nothing
small. The moment we have given it to God, it becomes infinite.
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.
How
very appropriate that this inspirational quote by Mother Teresa would 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.
This
may be the most famous inspirational quote by Mother Teresa. Many have certainly
reminded us that it was Mother Teresa who said it:
I
know God will not give me anything I can't handle.
I just wish he didn't trust me so much.
And
these are some of my favorite inspirational quotes by Mother Teresa:
Joy
is prayer.
Joy is strength.
Joy is love.
Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls.
Kind
words can be short and easy to speak,
but their echoes are truly endless.
Let
no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier.
Let
us make one point, that we meet each other with a smile, when it is
difficult to smile.
Smile at each other. Make time for each other in your family.
This
is one my favorite inspirational quotes by Mother Teresa, for it speaks so
eloquently of so many facets of life:
Life is a promise,
fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is life, fight for it.
