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?

Contemplative prayer [oración mental] in my opinion is nothing else than a close sharing between friends it means taking time frequently to be alone with him who we know loves us.
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
Keep this in mind, for it is very important advice, so do not neglect it until you find you have such a fixed determination not to offend the Lord that you would rather lose a thousand lives and be persecuted by the whole world, than commit one mortal sin, and until you are most careful not to commit venial sins.
Teresa of Avila
Image
Accustom yourself continually to make many acts of love, for they enkindle and melt the soul.
Teresa of Avila
