Mother Teresa Holiness Quotations

Holiness does not consist in doing extraordinary things. It consists in accepting, with a smile, what Jesus sends us. It consists in accepting and following the will of God.

Our progress in holiness depends on God and ourselves - on God's grace and on our will to be holy.

Holiness is doing God's will with a smile.

Holiness consists of doing the will of God with a smile.

Prayer is the breath of life to our soul; holiness is impossible without it

Holiness is not a privilege of a few but a need for all.

You have to be holy in your position as you are, and I have to be holy in the position that God has put me. So it is nothing extraordinary to be holy. Holiness is not the luxury of the few. Holiness is a simple duty for you and for me. We have been created for that.
