If you fall sometimes, you must not be discouraged.
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

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
I often thought my constitution would never endure the work I had to do, (but) the Lord said to me: 'Daughter, obedience gives strength.'
Teresa of Avila
Image
Strive to close the eyes of the body and open those of the soul and look into your own heart.
Teresa of Avila
Image
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
Image
Pain is never permanent.
Teresa of Avila
Image
The tree that is beside the running water is fresher and gives more fruit.
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
Whoever has God lacks nothing. God alone suffices.
Teresa of Avila
