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.

More quotes by Teresa of Avila
I thought of the soul as resembling a castle, formed of a single diamond or a very transparent crystal, and containing many rooms, just as in Heaven there are many mansions.
Teresa of Avila
Praised be the Lord, who has redeemed me from myself.
Teresa of Avila
Love makes labour light. Love alone gives value to all things.
Teresa of Avila
Truth suffers, but never dies.
Teresa of Avila
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
No one should think or say anything of another which he would not wish thought or said of himself.
Teresa of Avila
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
Do you know when people really become spiritual? It is when they become the slaves of God and are branded with His sign, which is the sign of the Cross, in token that they have given Him their freedom.
Teresa of Avila
It constantly happens that the Lord permits a soul to fall so that it may grow humbler.
Teresa of Avila
I am afraid that if we begin to put our trust in human help, some of our Divine help will fail us.
Teresa of Avila
Dream that the more you struggle, the more you prove the love that you bear your God, and the more you will rejoice one day with your Beloved, in a happiness and rapture that can never end.
Teresa of Avila
Never exaggerate, but express your feelings with moderation.
Teresa of Avila
Accustom yourself continually to make many acts of love, for they enkindle and melt the soul.
Teresa of Avila
Prayer is an act of love. Words are not needed.
Teresa of Avila
All things must come to the soul from its roots, from where it is planted.
Teresa of Avila
I had a father and mother, who were devout and feared God. Our Lord also helped me with His grace. All this would have been enough to make me good, if I had not been so wicked.
Teresa of Avila
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
Remember that you have only one soul that you have only one death to die that you have only one life. . . . If you do this, there will be many things about which you care nothing.
Teresa of Avila
Those seeking the life of the spirit should be cheerful and free, and not neglect recreation. Married people must act in conformity with their vocation--but their progress will of necessity be but the pace of a hen.
Teresa of Avila
Jacob did not cease to be a Saint because he had to attend to his flocks.
Teresa of Avila
