The other week i bought the movie Mother Teresa based on her life. It was on sale for $5 so i was pretty stoked not only did i find a bargain but one that could make a difference. Mother Teresa lived 87 years (August 26, 1910 – September 5, 1997) and was born Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu. She founded Missionaries of Charity and served Christ her entire life. She gave and gave. Here are some of her most famous quotes. She is truly an inspiration, i feel connected to her as what she achieved in India and worldwide i have been called to do in Africa. To start with Uganda and South Africa. The movie is very moving and opens your eyes to how she would have lived her life.
"People who love each other fully and truly are the happiest people in the world. They may have little, they may have nothing, but they are happy people. Everything depends on how we love one another."
“If we really want to love we must learn how to forgive."
"Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin"
“Spread love everywhere you go: first of all in your own house. Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next door neighbor... Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting."
If you judge people, you have no time to love them."
” I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love."
“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." –
In this life we cannot do great things. We can only do small things with great love." in reference to this. if we continue to do small things with great love, it will eventually amount to something magnificent!
this quote is the essence of what my life will exist on. as a nurse and midwife i have been taught at uni to follow what she says but they dont mention Mother Teresa, i personally rather follow her then uni! here it is. ”Speak tenderly to them. Let there be kindness in your face, in your eyes, in your smile, in the warmth of your greeting. Always have a cheerful smile. Don't only give your care, but give your heart as well."
"It's not how much we give but how much love we put into giving."
Every thing she did was with Love. The world today needs love and compassion. Love is truly the answer to all the earths problems. Just think of a problem and how i t can be solved. love would be the most simple and logical answer. Imagine a world if love did not exist? Just smiling at something is an act of love. I have often heard that a man was walking down the street for the last time and he was going to commit suicide. He goes God i will continue to live if someone notices me. A lady walks by and smiles at him. As a result he does not commit suicide but becomes a Christian. I will try and find out where this is from.
Are you living you life full of love? i am overflowing with love that i need more people to give it too! Ask God what is your calling in life? what is it that your here on earth for at this time in eternity. Give your life to serve Christ and the rest is up to God! Do everything with Love.
