More quotes by Teresa of Avila

Image
The surest way to determine whether one possesses the love of God is to see whether he or she loves his or her neighbor. These two loves are never separated. Rest assured, the more you progress in love of neighbor the more your love of God will increase.
Teresa of Avila
Image
From silly devotions and from sour-faced saints, good Lord, deliver us.
Teresa of Avila
Image
Praised be the Lord, who has redeemed me from myself.
Teresa of Avila
Image
Love makes labour light. Love alone gives value to all things.
Teresa of Avila
Image
Everything seems to me to pass so quickly that we must concentrate on how to die rather than on how to live. How sweet it is to die if one has lived on the Cross with Christ.
Teresa of Avila
Image
Do not think you have gained a virtue unless you have first been tried by its opposite.
Teresa of Avila
Image
God has no hands or feet or voice except ours and through these He works.
Teresa of Avila
Image
To converse with You, O King of glory, no third person is needed, You are always ready in the Sacrament of the Altar to give audience to all. All who desire You always find You there, and converse with You face to face
Teresa of Avila
Image
Let us look at our own faults, and not other people's. We ought not to insist on everyone following in our footsteps, nor to take upon ourselves to give instructions in spirituality when, perhaps, we do not even know what it is.
Teresa of Avila
Image
Mental prayer is nothing else but being on terms of friendship with God, frequently conversing in secret with Him.
Teresa of Avila
Image
Strive to close the eyes of the body and open those of the soul and look into your own heart.
Teresa of Avila
Image
How friendly we should all be with one another if nobody were interested in money and honor.
Teresa of Avila
Image
The important thing is not to think much but to love much do, then, whatever most arouses you to love.
Teresa of Avila
Image
There is no affliction, trial, or labor difficult to endure, when we consider the torments and sufferings which Our Lord Jesus Christ endured for us.
Teresa of Avila
Image
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.
Teresa of Avila
Image
Do you know when people really become spiritual? It is when they become the slaves of God and are branded with His sign, which is the sign of the Cross, in token that they have given Him their freedom.
Teresa of Avila
Image
How poor is the wisdom of men, and how uncertain their forecast!
Teresa of Avila
Image
My father was a man of great charity towards the poor, and compassion for the sick, and also for servants so much so, that he never could be persuaded to keep slaves, for he pitied them so much: and a slave belonging to one of his brothers being once in his house, was treated by him with as much tenderness as his own children.
Teresa of Avila
Image
For, as I said a little way back, perfect souls are in no way repelled by trials, but rather desire them and pray for them and love them. They are like soldiers: the more wars there are, the better they are pleased, because they hope to emerge from them with the greater riches.
Teresa of Avila

Holy church-that mother who is also a queen because she is a king's bride.
