Because I Am Just Nothing

MOTHER TERESA



"I feel sometimes afraid, for I have nothing - no brains, no learning, no qualities required for such work - and yet I tell Him that my heart is free from everything and so it belongs completely to Him, and Him alone. He can use me just as it will please Him best. To please Him is the only joy I seek."

"He will do all. I am only a little instrument in His hands, and because I am just nothing, He wants to use me."

+ Mother Theresa in a letter to the Bishop of Calcutta (03/30/1947)
