Mother Teresa (1910-1997) was a 20th century nun born in India who founded orphanages and dedicated her life to caring for the sick and destitute of Calcutta and later in places as far-flung as Albania. Teresa founded The Order of Missionaries of Charity which now operates worldwide. She was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and is in the process of becoming a saint.
Many of the incredible words of wisdom that she shared with the world were all about sharing God's love for us with others.
She says that:
1)God's love for us is perfect and is an example for us: "Intense love does not measure, it just gives."
2)Everyone needs Gods love: “Even the rich are hungry for love, for being cared for, for being wanted, for having someone to call their own.”
3)Loving others can be simple: “Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.”
4)“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.”
5)"Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls."
6)And possibly her most famous quote of all: "If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one."
