Blessed Mother Theresa 2

Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.
Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.
Let us more and more insist on raising funds of love, of kindness, of understanding, of peace.
Money will come if we seek first the Kingdom of God - the rest will be given. 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 at home, and it is not how much we do... but how much love we put in that action.
One of the greatest diseases is to be nobody to anybody.
Peace begins with a smile. Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.
The biggest disease today is not leprosy or tuberculosis, but rather the feeling of being unwanted.
The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.
The miracle is not that we do this work, but that we are happy to do it.
The most terrible poverty is loneliness and the feeling of being unloved.
There are no great things, only small things with great love.
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.
Words which do not give the light of Christ increase the darkness.

Praying with the Bible 1

Make an act of faith in the loving presence of the Triune God: Father, Son and the Holy Spirit... Be aware of where you are and what you are feeling just now... joy, sorrow, anxiety, doubt, anger, restlessness,... Be aware of the setting Sun in the above picture... spend a few moments looking at it... Be quiet... Let every negative experience flow away from you... The Triune God is present and active in you here and now... ................................................................................ Let us pray the following verses of the Psalm line by line with faith and experience its healing power... "O come, let us sing to the Lord; let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation! Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise! For the Lord is great God, and a great King above all gods. In his hand are the depths of the earth; the heights of the mountains are his also. The sea is his, for he made it; for his hand s formed the dry land." O come, let us worship and bow down, let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker!" :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: (Psalm 95:1-6) :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Contact E-Mail: vmalpan@gmail.com
