The meaning of love”

“Never worry about numbers. Help one person at a time and always start with the person nearest you.”

“Cheerfulness is a sign of a generous and mortified person who forgetting all things, even herself, tries to please her God in all she does for souls. Cheerfulness is often a cloak which hides a life of sacrifice and a continual union with God.”

What do you do then? Take a broom and clean someone's house.
That says enough.”

“Joy is the net of love by which we can capture souls. God loves the person who gives with joy. Whoever gives with joy gives more. The best way to show our gratitude to God and to people is to accept with joy.”

Mother Teresa
“Humility is the mother of all virtues; purity, charity and obedience. It is in being humble that our love becomes real, devoted and ardent. If you are humble nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace, because you know what you are. If you are blamed you will not be discouraged. If they call you a saint you will not put yourself on a pedestal.”

Mother Teresa
“I would rather make mistakes in kindness and compassion than work miracles in unkindness and hardness.”

“The person who gives with a smile is the best giver because God loves a cheerful giver.”

“If you give what you do not need, it is not giving.”

Mother Teresa
“I must be willing to give whatever it takes to do good to others. This requires that I be willing to give until it hurts. Otherwise, there is no true love in me, and I bring injustice, not peace, to those around me.”
