A handful of quotes from Mother Teresa, as we begin our march into the new year:
"Joy is a need and a power for us.
A Christian who has cultivated a spirit of joy
feels less tired and is always ready to go doing good.
A Christian filled with joy preaches
without preachin. She/He is like the sunshine
of God's love, the hope of eternal happiness,
the flame of burning love.
*
"Never let anything so fill you with pain
or sorrow so as to make you forget
the joy of the Christ Risen.
*
"When you are cooking, washing clothes,
working hard in the office, do it all with joy.
That will be your love for God in action!
*
"People are trying to make God
a relic from the past. But you, by your love,
by the purity of your lives and your compassion
can prove to the world that God is up-to-date.
*
"God loves me. I'm not here just to fill a place,
just to be a number. He has chosen me for a purpose.
I know it. He will fulfill it if I don't put an
obstacle in his way. He will not force me,
but he want me to say yes."
