테레사 수녀
항상 웃는 얼굴로 서로를 만납시다, 웃음은 사랑의 시작이기 때문입니다.
평화는 웃음에서 시작됩니다.
친절한 말들은 말하는데 쉽고 짧지만, 그들의 메아리는 참으로 무한합니다.
좋은 일들은 사랑의 사슬을 형성하는 고리입니다.
제일 지독한 가난은 외로움과 사랑받지 못하고 있다는 느낌입니다.
저는 세계에 러브레터를 보내시는 하느님의 손안에 있는 작은 연필일 뿐입니다.
저는 성공을 위해 기도하지 않습니다. 신앙을 구할 뿐이죠.
이 삶에서 우린 굉장한 것을 할 순 없어요. 우린 그저 작은 것들을 굉장한 사랑으로 할 뿐이예요.
우리는 위대한 일들을 할 수 없습니다. 오로지 작을 일들을 위대한 사랑으로 해나갈 뿐입니다.
우리는 모두 신의 손안에 있는 연필과 같습니다.
외로움은 최악의 가난입니다.
예수의 빛을 가지고 있는 말들은 어둠을 키워나갑니다.
예수님은 서로를 사랑하라 하셨습니다. 전세계를 사랑하란 말씀은 하지 않으셨습니다.
사랑은 집에서 시작되요, 그리고 우리가 얼마냐 하냐가 아니라…그 일에 얼마만큼의 사랑을 쏟느냐에 관해서죠.
사랑은 가장 가까운 사람들을 돌보는 것으로 시작되요-집에 있는 사람들이요.
사랑받지못한다거나 관심받지 못한다거나 잊혀진다거나 쓸모없는 존재가 된다는것은, 제 생각에는 아주 큰 배고픔인것 같습니다, 아무것도 먹을것없는 사람보다 훨씬.
맹렬한 사랑은 재지 않는것입니다, 줄뿐이지요.
많은 사람들이 우리의 일을 천직이라고 생각해요. 우리의 천직은 하느님을 사랑하는거죠.
만약 우리가 평화롭지 않다면, 그것은 우리가 서로에게 속해있다는 것을 잃어버렸기 때문입니다.
만약 사랑의 메세지를 듣고 싶다면, 당신도 사랑의 메세지를 보내야 해요. 램프를 계속 타게 하려면, 우리가 계속 기름을 부어야 하는 것처럼요.
당신이 누군가를 향해 미소지을때마다, 그것은 사랑의 표현이며, 그사람을위한 선물이며, 아주 아름다운 것입니다.
난 역설을 찾았어요, 아플때까지 사랑한다면, 더이상 아픔은 없고, 사랑만이 남죠.
기적은 우리가 이 일을 하고있다는게 아니라 우리가 이일을 하는데 행복하다는 것입니다.
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.
We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty.
We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do.
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.
We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. 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 to
There should be less talk; a preaching point is not a meeting point. What do you do then? Take a broom and clean someone’s house. That says enough.
There must be a reason why some people can afford to live well. They must have worked for it. I only feel angry when I see waste. When I see people throwing away things that we could use.
There is more hunger in the world for love and appreciation in this world than for bread.
There is always the danger that we may just do the work for the sake of the work. This is where the respect and the love and the devotion come in – that we do it to God, to Christ, and that’s why we try to do it as beautifully as possible.
There are no great things, only small things with great love. Happy are those.
The success of love is in the loving – it is not in the result of loving. Of course it is natural in love to want the best for the other person, but whether it turns out that way or not does not determine the value of what we have done.
The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.
The greatest destroyer of peace is abortion because if a mother can kill her own child, what is left for me to kill you and you to kill me? There is nothing between.
The biggest disease today is not leprosy or tuberculosis, but rather the feeling of being unwanted.
Sweetest Lord, make me appreciative of the dignity of my high vocation, and its many responsibilities. Never permit me to disgrace it by giving way to coldness, unkindness, or impatience.
Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.
So many signatures for such a small heart.
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.
One of the greatest diseases is to be nobody to anybody.
Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within reach of every hand.
Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty.
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.
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 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.
Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls.
It is not the magnitude of our actions but the amount of love that is put into them that matters.
It is impossible to walk rapidly and be unhappy.
It is easy to love the people far away. It is not always easy to love those close to us. It is easier to give a cup of rice to relieve hunger than to relieve the loneliness and pain of someone unloved in our own home. Bring love into your home for this is
It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish.
It is a kingly act to assist the fallen.
If you judge people, you have no time to love them.
If you can’t feed a hundred people, then feed just one.
If we want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.
I want you to be concerned about your next door neighbor. Do you know your next door neighbor?
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.
I think I’m more difficult than critical.
I know God will not give me anything I can’t handle. I just wish that He didn’t trust me so much.
I am not sure exactly what heaven will be like, but I don’t know that when we die and it comes time for God to judge us, he will NOT ask, How many good things have you done in your life?, rather he will ask, How much LOVE did you put into what you did?
Everybody today seems to be in such a terrible rush, anxious for greater developments and greater riches and so on, so that children have very little time for their parents. Parents have very little time for each other, and in the home begins the disruptio
Each one of them is Jesus in disguise.
Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person.
Do not think that love, in order to be genuine, has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired.
Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.
사랑은 사시사철의 열매이다.
