Love, Faith, and Hope Are Inspired by These 54 Mother Teresa Quotes…

Mother Teresa once said, “I’m a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world.” Allow her faith and love-filled remarks to motivate you each day.

Thinking back on a few quotations from Mother Teresa can give you hope and a fresh perspective on leading a life filled with love, service, and faith when all else in the world seems overwhelming.

Saint Teresa of Calcutta, as she was known following her canonization in 2016, is regarded as one of the greatest humanitarians of our time and taught us all how to love and help the less fortunate people in our community. Despite her petite size and stature, she more than made up for it with her fervor and commitment to the people she loved and supported, most of whom were the marginalized and outcasts in their communities. The devout Albanian nun who won the 1979 Nobel Peace Prize gave all of her winnings to the underprivileged in India.

Not everyone is capable of great things. But we are capable of lovingly doing little things. Mother Teresa

Millions of people were impacted by her presence, her charitable deeds, and the lessons she imparted from her life-long religion. She left us with timeless wisdom to strengthen our faith since she exemplified Christ’s servant role by being his hands and feet for others. We witness that a life of love, no matter how vast or small, discreet or acknowledged, is significant, meaningful, and powerful—both in her words and particularly in her deeds.

Consider these sayings from Mother Teresa as you go about your daily life. Share one in a note with a friend to encourage them. You may also print one up and put it in your cubicle at work or home to remind yourself of her wisdom. Ultimately, the little acts of love you do now have the power to impact tomorrow.
