Mother Teresa (Mary Teresa Bojaxhiu) Quotes
These are very unskillful comparisons to represent so precious a thing, but I am not clever enough to think out any more: the real truth is that joy makes the soul so forgetful of itself, and of everything, that it is conscious of nothing, and able to speak of nothing, save of that which proceeds from its joy...

And may all the creatures join with us for ever and ever. Amen, amen, amen.
