More quotes by 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

Teresa of Avila
People in the world pay little heed to reason where their own interests are involved.
Teresa of Avila
This body of ours has one fault: the more you indulge it, the more things it discovers to be essential to it. It is extraordinary how it likes being indulged.
Teresa of Avila
Whoever has God lacks nothing. God alone suffices.
Teresa of Avila
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
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
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.
