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.

More quotes by 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
Our soul can find in the Blessed Sacrament all the joys and consolations it desires.
Teresa of Avila
Don't let your sins turn into bad habits.
Teresa of Avila
What a miserable life is this! There is no happiness that is secure and nothing that does not change.
Teresa of Avila
Patient endurance / Attaineth to all things.
Teresa of Avila
It should be observed that perfect love of God consists not in those delights, tears and sentiments of devotion that we generally seek, but in a strong determination and keen desire to please God in all things, and to promote His glory.
Teresa of Avila
Praised be the Lord, who has redeemed me from myself.
Teresa of Avila
Happy the heart where love has come to birth.
Teresa of Avila
Never exaggerate, but express your feelings with moderation.
Teresa of Avila
We shall never learn to know ourselves except by endeavoring to know God for, beholding His greatness we realize our own littleness His purity shows us our foulness and by meditating upon His humility we find how very far we are from being humble.
Teresa of Avila
Vocal prayer . . . must be accompanied by reflection. A prayer in which a person is not aware of Whom he is speaking to, what he is asking, who it is who is asking and of Whom, I don't call prayer-however much the lips may move.
Teresa of Avila
God aids the valiant...both to you and to me He will give the help needed.
Teresa of Avila
The most potent and acceptable prayer is the prayer that leaves the best effects. I don't mean it must immediately fill the soul with desire . . . The best effects are those that are followed up by actions-when the soul not only desires the honor of God, but really strives for it.
Teresa of Avila
How often I failed in my duty to God, because I was not leaning on the strong pillar of prayer.
Teresa of Avila
Christ moves along the pots and pans.
Teresa of Avila
Truth suffers, but never dies.
Teresa of Avila
Don't be curious of matters that don't concern you never speak of them, and don't ask about them.
Teresa of Avila
Pain is never permanent.
Teresa of Avila
Anyone who has the habit of speaking before God's majesty as if he were speaking to a slave, careless about how he is speaking, and saying whatever comes into his head and whatever he's learned from saying prayers at other times, in my opinion is not praying. Please, God, may no Christian pray in this way.
Teresa of Avila
About the injunction of the Apostle Paul that women should keep silent in church? Don't go by one text only.
