God has no hands or feet or voice except ours and through these He works.
Teresa of Avila

What misery to live in this world! We are like men whose enemies are at the door, who must not lay aside their arms, even while sleeping or eating, and are always in dread lest the foe should enter the fortress by some breach in the walls. O my Lord and my all! How canst thou wish us to prize such a wretched existence?

Teresa of Avila

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.

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.

Image
What peace can we hope to find elsewhere if we have none within us
Teresa of Avila
Image
That is how His Majesty [the Lord] rewards our good works---I mean, by predisposing us to perform better ones.
Teresa of Avila
Image
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
What value is there in faith without works? And what are they worth if they are not united to the merits of Jesus Christ, our only good?
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
Nothing can be compared to the great beauty and capabilities of a soul however keen our intellects may be, they are as unable to comprehend them as to comprehend God, for, as He has told us, He created us in His own image and likeness.
Teresa of Avila
Image
Let us consider the glorious Saint Paul: it seems that no other name fell from his lips than that of Jesus, because the name of Jesus was fixed and embedded in his heart.

Love turns work into rest.
