In the final analysis it is between you and God, it was never between you and them anyway.
There are many people who can do big things, but there are very few people who will do the small things.
I prefer you to make mistakes in kindness than work miracles in unkindness.
It is not what to do, but how much love we put into the doing. We can do not greats, only small things with great love." - Mother Theresa
A sacrifice to be real must cost, must hurt, and must empty ourselves. 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 weakness.
I used to pray that God would feed the hungry, or do this or that, but now I pray that he will guide me to do whatever I'm supposed to do, what I can do. I used to pray for answers, but now I'm praying for strength. I used to believe that prayer changes things, but now I know that prayer changes us and we change things.
I'm a little pencil in the hand of a writing God, who is sending a love letter to the world.
I would rather make mistakes in kindness and compassion than work miracles in unkindness and hardness.
Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.
Peace begins with a smile..
The greatest destroyer of peace is abortion because if a mother can kill her own child, what is left for me to kill you and you to kill me? There is nothing between.
Peace begins with a smile.
One of the greatest diseases is to be nobody to anybody.
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.
Our life of poverty is as necessary as the work itself. Only in heaven will we see how much we owe to the poor for helping us to love God better because of them.
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.
The greatest disease in the West today is not TB or leprosy; it is being unwanted, unloved, and uncared for. We can cure physical diseases with medicine, but the only cure for loneliness, despair, and hopelessness is love. There are many in the world who are dying for a piece of bread but there are many more dying for a little love. The poverty in the West is a different kind of poverty -- it is not only a poverty of loneliness but also of spirituality. There's a hunger for love, as there is a hunger for God.
