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

Patient endurance / Attaineth to all things.
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
Image
It is certain that the love of God does not consist in this sweetness and tenderness which we for the most part desire but rather in serving Him in justice, fortitude, and humility. His Majesty seeks and loves courageous souls.
Teresa of Avila
Image
The closer one approaches to God, the simpler one becomes.
Teresa of Avila
Image
How is it that we do not die of love in seeing that God Himself could do no more than shed His divine blood for us drop by drop? When as man He was preparing for death, He made Himself our food in order to give us life. God becomes food, bread for his creatures. Is this not enough to make us die of love?
Teresa of Avila
Image
As to the aridity you are suffering from, it seems to me our Lord is treating you like someone He considers strong: He wants to test you and see if you love Him as much at times of aridity as when He sends you consolations. I think this is a very great favor for God to show you.

Image
Whoever has God lacks nothing. God alone suffices.
Teresa of Avila
Image
O my God, what must a soul be like when it is in this state! It longs to be all one tongue with which to praise the Lord. It utters a thousand pious follies, in a continuous endeavor to please Him who thus possesses it.
Teresa of Avila
Image
Christ has no body now but mine. He prays in me, works in me, looks through my eyes, speaks through my words, works through my hands, walks with my feet and loves with my heart.
Teresa of Avila
Image
Christ moves along the pots and pans.
Teresa of Avila
Image
Be kind to all and severe to thyself.
Teresa of Avila
Image
He who has God finds he is lacking nothing.
Teresa of Avila
Image
If this is the way You treat Your friends, no wonder You have so few!
Teresa of Avila
Image
Blessed be He, Who came into the world for no other purpose than to suffer.
Teresa of Avila
Image
How friendly all men would be one with another, if no regard were paid to honour and money! I believe it would be a remedy for everything.
Teresa of Avila
Image
I know the power obedience has of making things easy which seem impossible.
Teresa of Avila
Image
Mental prayer in my opinion is nothing else than an intimate sharing between friends it means taking time frequently to be alone with Him who we know loves us. The important thing is not to think much but to love much and so do that which best stirs you to love. Love is not great delight but desire to please God in everything.
Teresa of Avila
Image
God, deliver me from sullen saints.
Teresa of Avila
Image
Christ does not force our will, He only takes what we give Him. But He does not give Himself entirely until He sees that we yield ourselves entirely to Him.
Teresa of Avila
Image
Love makes labour light. Love alone gives value to all things.
Teresa of Avila
