Hey everyone, i was searching online and found a few quotes from Mother Teresa. These quotes are only a few of the many she said. This women is such an inspiration, and I wish we could love as much as she did. I underlined the ones that let my spirit soar... so pretty much all of them.

“I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish He didn't trust me so much.”

“We are all pencils in the hand of God.”

“Love begins by taking care of the closest ones-the ones at home.”

“Words which do not give the light of Christ increase the darkness.”

“If you judge people, you have no time to love them.”

“It's not how much we give but how much love we put into giving.”

“We may not be able to give much but we can always give the joy that springs in a heart that is in love with God.”

10:27 And he answered, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself."
Luke 10:27

There is a great documentary about this blessed woman that came out in 1997. I think you can find it on Netflix. My favorite quite by her is that " The poor and suffering are but the face of Jesus in disguise"

Also, nuns are really cool. You should try and find a monastarey in your area and pray with them. The love these women of God put out is simply amazing.

There's also a fantastic movie from 2006, starring Olivia Hussey: http://www.jacobswell.net/e/advSearch.asp?mode=search&selQuickSearch=quicksearch&txtTitle=Mother+Teresa

Thanks for sharing that Kathy - I've been meaning to watch it eventually.

Great quotes Bethany Rose! Here are some of my other favorite Mother Teresa quotes:

Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies
Everytime you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing
I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world

Mother Teresa is one of those Catholics that makes me proud to count Catholic priests and nuns in my father's side of the family.
