Image
God aids the valiant...both to you and to me He will give the help needed.
Teresa of Avila
Image
There seem to me a great many blessings which come from true poverty and I should be sorry to be deprived of them.
Teresa of Avila
Image
Her heart is full of joy with love, for in the Lord her mind is stilled. She has renounced every selfish attachment and draws abiding joy and strength from the One within. She lives not for herself, but lives to serve the Lord of Love in all, and swims across the sea of life breasting its rough waves joyfully.
Teresa of Avila
Image
To have courage for whatever comes in life - everything lies in that.
Teresa of Avila
Image
What misery to live in this world! We are like men whose enemies are at the door, who must not lay aside their arms, even while sleeping or eating, and are always in dread lest the foe should enter the fortress by some breach in the walls. O my Lord and my all! How canst thou wish us to prize such a wretched existence?
Teresa of Avila
Image
All times are dangerous times.
Teresa of Avila
Image
I have often thought with wonder of the great goodness of God and my soul has rejoiced in the contemplation of His great magnificence and mercy. May He be blessed for ever! For I see clearly that He has not omitted to reward me, even in this life, for every one of my good desires.
Teresa of Avila

Christ moves along the pots and pans.

People in the world pay little heed to reason where their own interests are involved.
Teresa of Avila
Image
Be kind to all and severe to thyself.
Teresa of Avila
Image
Everything seems to me to pass so quickly that we must concentrate on how to die rather than on how to live. How sweet it is to die if one has lived on the Cross with Christ.
Teresa of Avila
Image
There is more security in self-denial, mortification, and other like virtues, than in an abundance of tears.
Teresa of Avila
Image
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.
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
Happy the heart where love has come to birth.
Teresa of Avila
Image
I know the power obedience has of making things easy which seem impossible.
Teresa of Avila
Image
I had a father and mother, who were devout and feared God. Our Lord also helped me with His grace. All this would have been enough to make me good, if I had not been so wicked.
Teresa of Avila
Image
May God protect me from gloomy saints.
Teresa of Avila
Image
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
Image
All things must come to the soul from its roots, from where it is planted.
Teresa of Avila
