Mother Teresa

Mother Teresa’s goal in life was to help and love others with all her heart, mind and soul. She claims no matter how small the act of love, if you give unconditionally your heart will open and your life will be enriched. She believed prayer feeds the soul. As blood is to the body, prayer is to the soul and it brings you closer to God.

Mother Theresa started her own order, the Missionaries of Charity in1950. She has won numerous awards, including a Nobel Peace Prize and has found many other organizations throughout the world. She has taught Catholics and Non- Catholics alike, we need to have hope and love in order to enhance our lives. She was an inspiration and created a ripple effect spreading compassion where ever she went. Her goal was to serve others, improve their lives and give dignity to the dying. Below is list of her inspiring quotes.

Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.

Prayer enlarges the heart until it is capable of containing God’s gift of Himself.

Violence of the tongue is very real – sharper than a knife.

To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.

I just take one day. Yesterday has gone, Tomorrow has not come. We have only today to love Jesus.

We want to create hope for the person…we must give hope, always hope.

God hasn’t called me to be successful. He’s called me to be faithful.

I am like a pencil in God’s hand. He does the writing. The pencil has nothing to do with it.

I’m only a little wire – God is the power.

Cheri, loved your article! You really captured who she was in a beautiful flow of language. It was truly not Mother Teresa who was so full of capacity but her God. As such, that capacity of Love has reached beyond the expiration date of Mother Teresa's vessel... and into times and places she never knew...right into my personal world!

She knew what it was to follow Jesus' example. Too many of us go around crowing that we are "Christian" but we don't really live it. Wonderful hub, thanks Cheri
