Souls who do not practice prayer are like people whose limbs are paralyzed.
Teresa of Avila
Image
All things must come to the soul from its roots, from where it is planted.
Teresa of Avila
Image
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

We are always in the presence of God, yet it seems to me that those who pray are in His presence in a very different sense.
Teresa of Avila

Patience obtains everything.
Teresa of Avila

Teresa of Avila
Image
What a miserable life is this! There is no happiness that is secure and nothing that does not change.
Teresa of Avila
Image
God, deliver me from sullen saints.
Teresa of Avila
Image
Alas, O Lord, to what a state dost Thou bring those who love Thee!
Teresa of Avila
Image
True love grows by sacrifice and the more thoroughly the soul rejects natural satisfaction the stronger and more detached its tenderness becomes.
Teresa of Avila
Image
Accustom yourself continually to make many acts of love, for they enkindle and melt the soul.
Teresa of Avila
Image
To have courage for whatever comes in life - everything lies in that.
Teresa of Avila
Image
However much we do to avoid them, we shall never lack crosses in this life if we are in the ranks of the Crucified.
Teresa of Avila
