【本報訊】今日是德蘭修女出生一百周年紀念日，她生前的主要行善之地印度加爾各答，
將舉行多項活動，紀念這位為人熟悉且備受尊敬、為窮人付出良多的傳教者。
You are always in my heart, Mother Teresa.
Your love still spreads around the world even now.
It has never ceased,
and the light you brought to us will remain till the end of time.
Please watch over us, pray for us, embrace us,
Guide us in times of trials, pain and suffering.
May we all follow your footsteps,
to love people in our surroundings despite their differences.
Quotes from Mother Teresa:
"Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat.""Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person."
"God doesn't require us to succeed; he only requires that you try."
"I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world. "
"I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love."
"I want you to be concerned about your next door neighbor. Do you know your next door neighbor? "
"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. "
"Everytime you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing. "
"In this life we cannot do great things. We can only do small things with great love. "
"It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish. "
"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. "
"Many people mistake our work for our vocation. Our vocation is the love of Jesus."
"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 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."
"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 touch souls."
