Mother Teresa Quotes

Mother Teresa has been such a blessing and an inspiration to us all, so here are some wonderful quotes from her!

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.

Do not think that love, in order to be genuine, has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired.

Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person.

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.

Everytime you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.

God doesn’t require us to succeed; he only requires that you try.

Good works are links that form a chain of love.

I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world.

I do not pray for success, I ask for faithfulness.

I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.

I know God will not give me anything I can’t handle. I just wish that He didn’t trust me so much.

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.

If we want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.

In this life we cannot do great things. We can only do small things with great love.

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.

Loneliness is the most terrible poverty.

Love begins by taking care of the closest ones – the ones at home.

Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within reach of every hand.

Many people mistake our work for our vocation. Our vocation is the love of Jesus.

One of the greatest diseases is to be nobody to anybody.

The miracle is not that we do this work, but that we are happy to do it.

The success of love is in the loving – it is not in the result of loving. Of course it is natural in love to want the best for the other person, but whether it turns out that way or not does not determine the value of what we have done.

There are no great things, only small things with great love. Happy are those.

There is more hunger in the world for love and appreciation in this world than for bread.

There must be a reason why some people can afford to live well. They must have worked for it. I only feel angry when I see waste. When I see people throwing away things that we could use.

We are all pencils in the hand of God.

We can do no great things, only small things with great love.

We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature – trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence… We need silence to be able to touch souls.

We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.

We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do.

We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty.

We, the unwilling, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much, for so long, with so little, we are now qualified to do anything with nothing.

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

Welcome to Would Jesus Attend?

Dear Visitors,

Thank you for taking the time to come to our site!

The purpose of WouldJesusAttend.com is very simple. Faith without works is dead. Faith is what we do not see; it is what we hope for. We see the goal with our Spiritual eyes. One of the greatest blessings of the Catholic Church is the knowledge that the Church has over 2,000 years of established Commandments and Rules. It is each individual’s decision whether or not to join the Church. In Numbers 23:19, God said He was not a man; that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should change his mind. Does He speak and not act? Does He promise and not fulfill? So, I take that to the bank all day long. Then Jesus tells us that we need to be on our guard because we have an enemy. Who is the enemy? He is the great deluder, deceiver, father of lies. He goes about like a roaring lion, and he came to kill, steal, and destroy.

When each of us dies, we will be remembered for two things: the problems we caused or the problems we solved! I strongly desire to live as Paul said, forgetting the former things and reaching toward the high calling of serving Jesus Christ. In order to serve the Most Wonderful Living God and Ruler of the Universe, I need to practice integrity—which means my thoughts, words, and actions need to be congruent. Truly, it is a full time job to practice being a good witness for Jesus, yet that is my goal, and when I goof up—the Church provides the solution in the form of Confession and Reconciliation. Nobody is perfect except for Jesus.

So, in closing, I have called the Dallas Diocese, spoken with Annette Gonzales, the Director of Communications, and extended an invitation to Bishop Farrell to be on our Saturday Radio show on KSKY anytime he desires. I called the Des Moines, Iowa Diocese twice and spoke once to a friend of Sister Rupp’s, also invited her to be on the radio, then spoke with Ms. Cox , Director of the Des Moines Diocese Communications Department. I explained that the Dallas Diocese approved of Sr. Rupp’s teaching Catholic women in Plano because Bishop Richard Pates, Bishop of Des Moines, had no problem with Sister’s teaching, and she was not on a list of banned speakers from our USCCB. (Please visit ) Also, I contacted each of the 5 host churches and left messages with various people in charge of the ministry that covers Sr. Rupp’s teaching session and invited them to be on our radio show. Not one of the 5 church representatives called me back. Very interesting, when you consider the value of free air time to advertise or promote Sr. Rupp’s web site and her many books which are for purchase. Another life changing ethical proverb that is smarter than smart which I wish I had always lived by, but did not is this, ‘DO NOT DO ANYTHING I DO NOT WANT ON THE FRONT PAGE OF THE NEWSPAPER.’ (charactercounts.org)

In closing, this battle for the Christ centered hearts and minds of the women who would be attending St. Elizabeth Ann Seton’s retreat are in jeopardy. Please go to the web site of a former new age woman who is dedicating her life to exposing the lies of teaching that is not centered on Jesus (newagedeception.com).

Really, the Lord has made it easy for us. Jesus left us with His Word and how important is His Word? One of His Divine Names is The Word.

Finally, the Secret Service studies real money only, then when they see or feel counterfeit money they know immediately. When you know the TRUTH – which is JESUS – it is natural to have righteous anger when lies are taught as truth. God gave us Shepherds to protect us from deceivers and make sure the spiritual food we eat is good for our eternal souls.

With a heart full of gratitude for HIS love,

Vicki Middleton
