It is of great importance, when we begin to practise prayer, not to let ourselves be frightened by our own thoughts.
Teresa of Avila
Image
Be kind to all and severe to thyself.
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.

Don't let your sins turn into bad habits.

Accustom yourself continually to make many acts of love, for they enkindle and melt the soul.

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
Image
Trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
Teresa of Avila
Image
Untilled ground, however rich, will bring forth thistles and thorns so also the mind of man.
Teresa of Avila
Image
In order that love be fully satisfied, It is necessary that It lower Itself and that It lower Itself to nothingness and transform this nothingness into fire.
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
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.
