| | Wisdom from Mother Teresa
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. |  | - Simple acts of love and prayer keep the light of Christ burning.
- Holiness is not the luxury of a few. It is everyone's duty: yours and mine.
- I will give saints to Mother church.
- Holiness does not consist in doing extraordinary things. It consists in accepting, with a smile, what Jesus sends us. It consists in accepting and following the will of God.
- Prayer makes your heart bigger, until it is capable of containing the gift of God Himself.
- Prayer is not asking. Prayer is putting oneself in the hands of God, at his disposition, and listening to his voice in the depths of our hearts.
- What is a Christian? someone asked a Hindu man. He responded: "a Christian is someone who gives".
- I ask you one thing: do not tire of giving, but do not give your leftovers. Give until it hurts, until you feel the pain.
- If we worry too much about ourselves, we won't have time for others.
- Today it is fashionable to talk about the poor. Unfortunately it is not fashionable to talk with them.
- The poor are Christ Himself.
- When we touch the sick and needy, we touch the suffering body of Christ.
- If there are poor in the moon, we will go there too.
- I pay no attention to numbers; what matters is the people. I rely on one. There is only one: Jesus.
- Good works are links that form a chain of love.
- Where does love begin? In our own homes. When does it begin? When we pray together. The family that prays together, stays together.
- Peace begins with a smile.
- Only God knows our true needs.
