Mother Teresa

Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love but to use violence to get what they want.

We too are called to withdraw at certain intervals into deeper silence and aloneness with God, together as a community as well as personally; to be alone with Him _ not with our books, thoughts, and memories but completely stripped of everything _ to dwell lovingly in His presence, silent, empty, expectant, and motionless. We cannot find God in noise or agitation.

A joyful heart is the normal result of a heart burning with love. She gives most who gives with joy.

Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.

It is our emptiness and lowliness that God needs and not our plenitude. These are a few of the ways we can practice humility:Speak as little as possible of oneself.Mind one's own business.Avoid curiosity.Do not want to manage other people's affairs.Accept contradiction and correction cheerfully.Pass over the mistakes of others.Accept blame when innocent.Yield to the will of others.Accept insults and injuries.Accept being slighted, forgotten, and disliked.Be kind and gentle even under provocation.Do not seek to be specially loved and admired.Never stand on one's dignity.Yield in discussion even when one is right.Choose always the hardest.

I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.

If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.

Joy is a net of love in which you can catch souls.

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