Things we can learn from Mother Teresa

1. Treat everyone equally and with respect.

"There is only one God and He is God to all; therefore it is important that everyone is seen as equal before God. I’ve always said we should help a Hindu become a better Hindu, a Muslim become a better Muslim, a Catholic become a better Catholic. We believe our work should be our example to people. We have among us 475 souls - 30 families are Catholics and the rest are all Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs—all different religions. But they all come to our prayers."

2. Love God with all your heart.

"There is a terrible hunger for love. We all experience that in our lives - the pain, the loneliness. We must have the courage to recognize it.
The poor you may have right in your own family.
Find them.
Love them."

3. Think before you speak.

"Before you speak, it is necessary for you to listen, for God speaks in the silence of the heart."

4. Forgive.

"If we really want to love we must learn how to forgive."

5. Give yourself to God.

 "Give yourself fully to God. He will use you to accomplish great things on the condition that you believe much more in His love than in your own weakness."

 

I believe that if everyone follows Mother Teresa's example the world will be a better more loving place. :)
