Good works are links that form a chain of love.
You can and you must expect suffering.
Good works are links that form a chain of love" Mother Theresa
There is a tremendous strength that is growing in the world through sharing together, praying together, suffering together, and working together.
Unless this love is among us, we can kill ourselves with work and it will only be work, not love. Work without love is slavery.
I would rather make mistakes in kindness and compassion than work miracles in unkindness and hardness.
We are not social workers. We are contemplatives in the heart of the world.
Work without love is slavery.
Many people mistake our work for our vocation. Our vocation is the love of Jesus.
Our life of poverty is as necessary as the work itself. Only in heaven will we see how much we owe to the poor for helping us to love God better because of them.
People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered. Love them anyway.
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.
Much more is accomplished by a single word of the Our Father said, now and then, from our heart, than by the whole prayer repeated many times in haste and without attention.
One must really have suffered oneself to help others.
