CENTENARY OF MOTHER TERESA’S BIRTH – EXHIBITION AT BACK OF CHURCH
After some masses this w/e some Missionaries of Charity will be around to answer questions.
See some of Mother Teresa’s great word in bold at the back.
Here are some more:
• Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.
• Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat.
• Each one of them is Jesus in disguise.
• Even the rich are hungry for love, for being cared for, for being wanted, for having someone to call their own.
• I try to give to the poor people for love what the rich could get for money. No, I wouldn't touch a leper for a thousand pounds; yet I willingly cure him for the love of God.
• I want you to be concerned about your next door neighbor. Do you know your next door neighbor?
• If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.
• The greatest destroyer of peace is abortion because if a mother can kill her own child, what is left for me to kill you and you to kill me? There is nothing between... the greatest destroyer of love and peace is abortion.
• If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one.
• Intense love does not measure, it just gives.
• Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls.
• Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.
• Let us more and more insist on raising funds of love, of kindness, of understanding, of peace. Money will come if we seek first the Kingdom of God - the rest will be given.
• Let us not be satisfied with just giving money. Money is not enough, money can be got, but they need your hearts to love them. So, spread your love everywhere you go.
• Let us touch the dying, the poor, the lonely and the unwanted according to the graces we have received and let us not be ashamed or slow to do the humble work.
• Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty.
• Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do... but how much love we put in that action.
• Love begins by taking care of the closest ones - the ones at home.
