While Mother Teresa has been gone for a number of years, her words continue with us for generations.

Here are a couple of her thoughts:

"We should give thanks to God for what he has done in us,

with us, and through us.

We should thank him for using us to be his love and mercy."

*

"We Christians cannot be divided.

We must all work together. We are all one.

In this unity, where two or three are gathered,

Christ is there with us."

*

"Let's not pray long, drawn-out prayers,

but let's pray short ones full of love."

*

"The Scriptures tell us, 'I have called you by name.

You belong to me. You are precious to me. I love you.'

God himself declares that we are precious to him.

He loves us, and he wants us to respond to his love."
