Let us love…
Let us love, since that is all our hearts were made for.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
If you judge people…
If you judge people, you have no time to love them.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
Listen in silence…
Listen in silence because if your heart is full of other things you cannot hear the voice of God.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
God speaks in silence…
Before you speak, it is necessary for you to listen; for God speaks in the silence of the heart.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
If discouraged…
If you are discouraged it is a sign of pride because it shows you trust in your own power. Your self-sufficiency, your selfishness and your intellectual pride will inhibit His coming to live in your heart because God cannot fill what is already full. It is as simple as that.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
Giving until it hurts…
You must give what will cost you something. This is giving not just what you can live without, but what you can’t live without, or don’t want to live without, something you really like. Then your gift becomes a sacrifice, which will have value before God. This giving until it hurts – this sacrifice – is what I call love in action.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
