More quotes by Teresa of Avila
Do not think you have gained a virtue unless you have first been tried by its opposite.
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
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
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
It constantly happens that the Lord permits a soul to fall so that it may grow humbler.
Teresa of Avila
Lord, how Thou dost afflict Thy lovers!
Teresa of Avila
Untilled soil, however fertile it may be, will bear thistles and thorns so it is with man's mind.
Teresa of Avila
Do you think it is only a little thing to possess a house from which lovely things can be seen?
Teresa of Avila
Hope, O my soul, hope. Watch carefully, for everything passes quickly, even though your impatience turns a very short time into a long one.
Teresa of Avila
Let us remember that within us there is a palace of immense magnificence.
Teresa of Avila
Christ moves along the pots and pans.
Teresa of Avila
Love turns work into rest.
Teresa of Avila
You ought to make every effort to free yourselves even from venial sin, and to do what is most perfect.
Teresa of Avila
The true penance comes when God takes away the soul's health and strength for doing penance. Even though I have mentioned elsewhere the great pain this lack causes, the pain is much more intense here. All these things must come to the soul from its roots, from where it is planted.
Teresa of Avila
Teach by works more than words.
Teresa of Avila
The closer one approaches to God, the simpler one becomes.
Teresa of Avila
Discontent with this world gives such a painful longing to quit it that, if the heart finds comfort, it is solely from the thought that God wishes it to remain here in banishment.
Teresa of Avila
Don't imagine that, if you had a great deal of time, you would spend more of it in prayer. Get rid of that idea it is no hindrance to prayer to spend your time well.
Teresa of Avila
God prefers your health, and your obedience, to your penance.
Teresa of Avila
God aids the valiant...both to you and to me He will give the help needed.
Teresa of Avila
