More quotes by Teresa of Avila
For pity's sake, don't start meeting troubles halfway.
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
From moment to moment one can bear much.
Teresa of Avila
Blessed be He, Who came into the world for no other purpose than to suffer.
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
I am afraid that if we begin to put our trust in human help, some of our Divine help will fail us.

Teresa of Avila
God deliver me from people who are so spiritual that they want to turn everything into perfect contemplation, come what may.
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
He who has God finds he is lacking nothing.
Teresa of Avila
True love grows by sacrifice and the more thoroughly the soul rejects natural satisfaction the stronger and more detached its tenderness becomes.

Teresa of Avila
I would never want any prayer that would not make the virtues grow within me.

It is only mercenaries who expect to be paid by the day.
Teresa of Avila
Trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
Teresa of Avila
God prefers your health, and your obedience, to your penance.
Teresa of Avila
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.
Teresa of Avila
To have courage for whatever comes in life - everything lies in that.
Teresa of Avila
Do you know when people really become spiritual? It is when they become the slaves of God and are branded with His sign, which is the sign of the Cross, in token that they have given Him their freedom.
Teresa of Avila
Be kind to all and severe to thyself.
Teresa of Avila
