The text on
Mother Teresa's visiting card:
|
The simple path!
The fruit of silence is prayer.
The fruit of prayer is faith.
The fruit of faith is love.
The fruit of love is service.
The fruit of service is peace. |
Abortion "is
murder in the womb ... A child is a gift of God. If you do not want him,
give him to me."
[Mother Teresa's
views on abortion remain controversial - she expressed these views
during her Nobel
Peace Prize acceptance speech] |
Note by Mother
Teresa:
|
Mutter Teresa's
"anyway":
 | People are often unreasonable, illogical or self-centred.
forgive them anyway. |
| If you are successful, you will be sure to make some false friends and
some true enemies.
Be successful anyway. |
| If you are honest and frank people may cheat you.
Be honest and frank anyway. |
| What you spend years building, someone could destroy over night.
Build anyway. |
| If you find serenity and happiness others may be jealous.
Be happy anyway. |
| The good you do today people will often forget tomorrow.
Be good anyway. |
| Give the world the best you have and it may never be good enough.
Give the world the best you've got anyway. |
|
You see, in the final analysis it is between you and God
It was never between you and them anyway. |

quotes:
I see God in every human being. When I wash the leper's
wounds, I feel I am nursing the Lord Himself. Is it not a beautiful
experience?.
|
To God there is nothing small. The moment we have given
it to God, it becomes infinite. |
The poor give us much more than we give them. They’re
such strong people, living day to day with no food. And they never
curse, never complain. We don’t have to give them pity or sympathy. We
have so much to learn from them.
|
It is better to give yourself than only to give. |
It is not how much we do, but how much love we put in
the doing. It is not how much we give, but how much love we put in the
giving. |
There is a terrible hunger for love. We all experience
that in our lives - the pain, the loneliness. |
