Free ourselves to be…
We must free ourselves to be filled by God. Even God cannot fill what is full.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
Humble like Mary…
Be humble like Mary so that you can be holy like Jesus.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
If Jesus wants you…
We are at Jesus’ disposal. If he wants you to be sick in bed, if he wants you to proclaim His work in the street, if he wants you to clean the toilets all day, that’s all right, everything is all right. We must say, “I belong to you. You can do whatever you like.” And this…is our strength, and this is the joy of the Lord.
–Blessed Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
To love others…
To love others as God loves you, that is the measure of success.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
True holiness consists…
Make sure you let God’s grace work in your souls by accepting whatever he gives you, and giving him whatever he takes from you. True holiness consists in doing God’s will with a smile. 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 own weakness.
–Blessed Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
Surrender consists in…
Total surrender consists in giving ourselves completely to God – Why must we give ourselves fully to God? Because God has given himself to us. If God, who owes nothing to us, is ready to impart to us no less than himself, shall we answer with just a fraction of ourselves? To give ourselves fully to God is a means of receiving God himself. I for God and God for me. I live for God and give up my own self, and in this way induce God to live for me. Therefore to possess God we must allow him to possess our soul.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
