Fact of death…
The fact of death should not sadden us. The only thing that should sadden us is to know that we are not saints.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
Prayer changes us…
I used to believe that prayer changes things, but now I know that prayer changes us, and we change things.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
The Simple Faith…
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.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
Silence and emptiness…
As for me, the silence and the emptiness is so great, that I look and do not see, — listen and do not hear — the tongue moves but does not speak … I want you to pray for me — that I let Him have free hand.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
If you are humble…
If you are humble nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace, because you know what you are. If you are blamed you will not be discouraged. If they call you a saint you will not put yourself on a pedestal.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
Our community is…
Keep in mind that our community is not composed of those who are already saints, but of those who are trying to become saints. Therefore let us be extremely patient with each other’s faults and failures.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
