This morning, amidst hoards of people at St. Peter’s Square in Vatican City, Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta was canonized by Pope Francis.
So let’s meet our newest Saint – Saint Teresa of Calcutta!
First off, I have to tell you guys. Mother Teresa (now Saint Teresa) is my girl.
I’ve always loved her and even remember doing a book report on her in elementary school. Her devotion to her faith as well as her work with the poorest of the poor in India is truly inspiring.
Plus – this lovely lady has quite a way with words. Quotes said by her are some of my all-time favorites.
So, without further ado, here are 10 powerful and inspiring Saint Teresa quotes to start off your week:
1. “We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do”
2. “Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier”
3. “If you judge people, you have no time to love them”
4. “If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other”
5. “Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless”
6. “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”
7. “We can do no great things. Only small things with great love”
8. “Some people come into our lives as blessings, others come in as lessons”
9. “Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin”

Have a great week!
