The Victims' Mother & ...

"There is only one God and He is God to all; therefore it is important that everyone is seen as equal before God. I've always said we should help a Hindu become a better Hindu, a Muslim become a better Muslim, a Catholic become a better Catholic"
Mother Teresa's word was also meant for officials, like Vladimir Putin.

1992 In Beirut, during fighting between the Israeli army and Palestinian guerrillas she said:
"I have never been in a war before, but I have seen famine and death. I was asking (myself), What do they feel when they do this?"
"They are all children of God. Why do they do it?"

In a letter to U.S. President George Bush and Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, January 1991:
"Please choose the way of peace. ... In the short term there may be winners and losers in this war that we all dread. But that never can, nor never will justify the suffering, pain and loss of life your weapons will cause."


 Mother Teresa

-Intense love does not measure, it just gives.

-When a poor person dies of hunger, it has not happened because God did not take care of him or her. It has happened because neither you nor I wanted to give that person what he or she needed.

-A nation that destroys the life of an unborn child, who has been created for living and loving, who has been created in the image of God, is in a tremendous poverty.

-I never add up. I only subtract from the total dying....It is not the magnitude of our actions but the amount of love that is put into them that matters.
A Future of Tanks or Children?
-Little things are indeed little, but to be faithful in little things is a great thing.

-Nakedness is not only for a piece of clothing; nakedness is lack of human dignity, and also that beatiful virtue of purity, and lack of that respect for each other.

-Give until it hurts.

-The world today is hungry not only for bread but hungry for love; hungry to be wanted, to be loved.
-Before you speak, it is necessary for you to listen, for God speaks in the silence of the heart.

-We have been created to love and to be loved.

  -If you are humble nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace, because you know what you are.

-Do not allow yourselves to be disheartened by any failure as long as you have done your best.

-We must make our homes centers of compassion and forgive endlessly.

-If we really want to love we must learn how to forgive.

-If we pray, we will believe; If we believe, we will love; If we love, we will serve.

-We can do no great things; only small things with great love.
