There seem to me a great many blessings which come from true poverty and I should be sorry to be deprived of them.
Teresa of Avila

True perfection consists in the love of God and our neighbour, and the better we keep both these commandments, the more perfect we shall be.
Teresa of Avila

In order that love be fully satisfied, It is necessary that It lower Itself and that It lower Itself to nothingness and transform this nothingness into fire.

Praised be the Lord, who has redeemed me from myself.
Teresa of Avila

Her heart is full of joy with love, for in the Lord her mind is stilled. She has renounced every selfish attachment and draws abiding joy and strength from the One within. She lives not for herself, but lives to serve the Lord of Love in all, and swims across the sea of life breasting its rough waves joyfully.

Teresa of Avila
Image
We shall never learn to know ourselves except by endeavoring to know God for, beholding His greatness we realize our own littleness His purity shows us our foulness and by meditating upon His humility we find how very far we are from being humble.

Teach by works more than words.

To argue over who is the more noble is nothing more than to dispute whether dirt is better for making bricks or for making mortar.
Teresa of Avila
Image
Thank God for the things that I do not own.
Teresa of Avila
Image
I was living an extremely burdensome life, because every time I prayed, I became more clearly aware of my faults. On the one hand, God was calling me. On the other, I was following the way of the world. Doing what God wanted made me happy but I felt bound by the things of this world.
Teresa of Avila
