It is of great importance, when we begin to practise prayer, not to let ourselves be frightened by our own thoughts.

Souls who do not practice prayer are like people whose limbs are paralyzed.
Teresa of Avila

Ah, how true it is that we love ourselves too much and proceed with too much human prudence, that we may not lose an atom of our consideration! Oh, what a great mistake that is! The Saints did not act thus.
Teresa of Avila

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

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.
Teresa of Avila
Image
His Majesty [the Lord] . . . rewards great services with trials, and there can be no better reward, for out of trials springs love for God.
Teresa of Avila
Image
Let there be no disappointment when obedience keeps you busy in outward tasks. If it sends you to the kitchen, remember that the Lord walks among the pots and pans.
Teresa of Avila
Image
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
Image
Much more is accomplished by a single word of the Our Father said, now and then, from our heart, than by the whole prayer repeated many times in haste and without attention.
Teresa of Avila
Image
Patience obtains everything.
Teresa of Avila
Image
Mental prayer is nothing else but being on terms of friendship with God, frequently conversing in secret with Him.
Teresa of Avila
Image
Let us consider the glorious Saint Paul: it seems that no other name fell from his lips than that of Jesus, because the name of Jesus was fixed and embedded in his heart.
Teresa of Avila
Image
I know the power obedience has of making things easy which seem impossible.
Teresa of Avila
Image
Let us remember that within us there is a palace of immense magnificence.
