People are often unreasonable, illogical
and self-centered;
Forgive them
anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you
of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind
anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some
false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed
anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people
may cheat you;
Be honest and frank 
anyway.

What you spend years building,
someone could destroy overnight;
Build
anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness,
they may be jealous;
Be happy
anyway.

The good you do today, people will
forget tomorrow,
Do good
anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and
it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got .
anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is
between you and God,
It never was between you and them
anyway.
 

PRAYER FOR THE CANONIZATION OF THE SERVANT OF GOD MOTHER TERESA OF CALCUTTA

Jesus, you made Mother Teresa an inspiring example of firm faith and burning charity, 
an extraordinary witness to the way of spiritual childhood, and a great and esteemed 
teacher of the value and dignity of every human life.  Grant that she may be venerated 
and imitated as one of the Church's canonized saints.

Hear the requests of all those who seek her intercession, especial the petition I 
now implore... (mention here the favour you wish to pray for).

May we follow her example in heeding your cry of thirst from the Cross and joyfully 
loving you in the distressing disguise of the poorest of the poor, especially those most 
unloved and unwanted.

We ask this through the intercession of Mary your Mother and the Mother of us all.  Amen.

        With ecclesiastical approval.
Please report all favours of miracles received through the intercession of Mother Teresa of Calcutta to: 
The Postulator, 54A A.J.C. Bose Road,  Calcutta 700 006, INDIA
