Mother Teresa

I 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.

Many people mistake our work for our vocation. Our vocation is the love of Jesus.

There is always the danger that we may just do the work for the sake of the work. This is where the respect and the love and the devotion come in – that we do it to God, to Christ, and that’s why we try to do it as beautifully as possible.

Intense love does not measure, it just gives.

Even the rich are hungry for love, for being cared for, for being wanted, for having someone to call their own.

Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within reach of every hand.

If you 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.

Let us more and more insist on raising funds of love, of kindness, of understanding, of peace. Money will come if we seek first the Kingdom of God – the rest will be given.

Let 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.

Love begins by taking care of the closest ones – the ones at home.
