For pity's sake, don't start meeting troubles halfway.

The life of the spirit is not our life, but the life of God within us.
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.

It is a dangerous thing to be satisfied with ourselves.
Teresa of Avila

In a state of grace, the soul is like a well of limpid water, from which flow only streams of clearest crystal. Its works are pleasing both to God and man, rising from the River of Life, beside which it is rooted like a tree.

Lord, how Thou dost afflict Thy lovers!

Life is to life in such a way that we are not afraid to die.

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.
