Image
Oh, how everything that is suffered with love is healed again!
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.
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
Image
Trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
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
Whoever has God lacks nothing. God alone suffices.
Teresa of Avila
Image
We bloomed in Spring. Our bodies are the leaves of God. The apparent seasons of life and death our eyes can suffer but our souls, dear, I will just say this forthright: they are God Himself, we will never perish until He does.
Teresa of Avila
