Wearing unbranded and cheap clothes does not mean that you are poor. Remember:You have a family to feed, not a community to impress.

Love to pray

Mother Teresa on Prayer

 

Love  to  pray, gradually increase the number of times you pray during

the day. It is a matter of practice, as you spend more time praying,

you will pray better.

Prayer  enlarges  the  heart  until  it's  capable  of  containing God's  gift of  himself . Ask  and  seek  and  your  heart  will  grow  big  enough  to receive  Him  and  keep  Him  as  your  own.  Once  we  have  met  the  living  God , and  we  have  been  attracted  by  His  goodness, we find  ourselves  increasingly  drawn  into  prayer.

What  before  was  a  simple  duty, now  becomes  a  delight.

Mother Teresa was convinced that prayer was something simple, easily accessible, life giving and that prayer transformed us in a way, as no amount of effort at self improvement ever could.

 

Mother Teresa would spend time simply being present with the poor

Mother  Teresa's  own  desire to  live with  the  poor, led her  to  dwell  in  their  midst  to 

share  their  poverty . 

Beyond  whatever  material  assistance she  gave  to  the  poor , she  made  it  a  point 

to , first  of  all , sit with  them, listen to  them  and  comfort  them.

She  would  spend  time  simply being  present  with  the  poor, face to  face  and  heart  to  heart with those  who  had  no  one -  knowing that  no  amount  of  blankets  or  bricks  could  warm the  human heart, nor any government  program  could give  the  gift of  belonging

The fragrance of flowers spreads only in the direction of the wind.

 

The fragrance of flowers spreads only in the direction of the wind.
But the goodness of a person spreads in all direction.

Mother Teresa on Family members:

Mother Teresa on Family members:
Peace and war start within our own house. Let us start by loving our own family members. Familiarity breeds contempt and so sometimes it is hard for us to even smile at one other. It is easy to love those who live far away, but it is not always easy to love those who live right next to us. But Mother Teresa says we must love our family members.

For example:
It is easier to offer food to feed the hunger of a homeless person on the street, but it is difficult to comfort the loneliness of aging parents living with us, who do not feel loved.

"If our poor die of hunger, it is not because God does not care for them. Rather, it is because we are not generous enough."

Mother Teresa said "If our poor die of hunger, it is not because God does not care for them. Rather, it is because we are not generous enough."

Imagine this situation:
After dinner, we may have excess food and we may throw it in the garbage because:
1) We do not know that there may be a hungry person in our neighborhood.
2) We do not know or we may have forgotten that there is a person that we know who is lonely (lives alone, or family is out of town) and that lonely person can consume some excess food.
3) In fact we may be busy looking forward to our favorite TV show whereby the  thought of giving away the excess food does not cross our mind. 

Mother Teresa on Sin and Forgiveness:

Mother Teresa on Sin and Forgiveness:
When we realize that we are all sinners needing forgiveness, It will be easy for us to forgive others.
We have to be forgiven in order to forgive.
Unless we understand this, it will be very hard for us to say the words "We forgive you" to anyone who comes our way
