Our soul can find in the Blessed Sacrament all the joys and consolations it desires.
Teresa of Avila

The most potent and acceptable prayer is the prayer that leaves the best effects. I don't mean it must immediately fill the soul with desire . . . The best effects are those that are followed up by actions-when the soul not only desires the honor of God, but really strives for it.
Teresa of Avila
Image
Our body has this defect that, the more it is provided care and comforts, the more needs and desires it finds.

Anyone who has the habit of speaking before God's majesty as if he were speaking to a slave, careless about how he is speaking, and saying whatever comes into his head and whatever he's learned from saying prayers at other times, in my opinion is not praying. Please, God, may no Christian pray in this way.

From silly devotions and from sour-faced saints, good Lord, deliver us.
Teresa of Avila

The tree that is beside the running water is fresher and gives more fruit.
Teresa of Avila
Image
I often thought my constitution would never endure the work I had to do, (but) the Lord said to me: 'Daughter, obedience gives strength.'
Teresa of Avila
Image
Let us remember that within us there is a palace of immense magnificence.
Teresa of Avila
Image
We always find that those who walked closest to Christ were those who had to bear the greatest trials.
