Image
Whoever has God lacks nothing. God alone suffices.
Teresa of Avila
Image
God deliver me from people who are so spiritual that they want to turn everything into perfect contemplation, come what may.
Teresa of Avila
Image
It is love alone that gives worth to all things.
Teresa of Avila
Image
We are always in the presence of God, yet it seems to me that those who pray are in His presence in a very different sense.
Teresa of Avila
Image
From silly devotions and from sour-faced saints, good Lord, deliver us.
Teresa of Avila
Image
Praised be the Lord, who has redeemed me from myself.
Teresa of Avila
Image
As to the aridity you are suffering from, it seems to me our Lord is treating you like someone He considers strong: He wants to test you and see if you love Him as much at times of aridity as when He sends you consolations. I think this is a very great favor for God to show you.
Teresa of Avila
Image
However much we do to avoid them, we shall never lack crosses in this life if we are in the ranks of the Crucified.
Teresa of Avila
Image
In order that love be fully satisfied, It is necessary that It lower Itself and that It lower Itself to nothingness and transform this nothingness into fire.
Teresa of Avila
Image
How is it that we do not die of love in seeing that God Himself could do no more than shed His divine blood for us drop by drop? When as man He was preparing for death, He made Himself our food in order to give us life. God becomes food, bread for his creatures. Is this not enough to make us die of love?
Teresa of Avila
Image
To reach something good it is very useful to have gone astray, and thus acquire experience.
Teresa of Avila
Image
Trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
Teresa of Avila
Image
What friends or kindred can be so close and intimate as the powers of our soul, which, whether we will or no, must ever bear us company?
Teresa of Avila
Image
Christ does not force our will, He only takes what we give Him. But He does not give Himself entirely until He sees that we yield ourselves entirely to Him.
Teresa of Avila
Image
We need no wings to go in search of Him, but have only to look upon Him present within us.
Teresa of Avila
Image
Out of suffering comes the serious mind out of salvation, the grateful heart out of endurance, fortitude out of deliverance faith. Patient endurance attends to all things.
Teresa of Avila
Image
O my God, what must a soul be like when it is in this state! It longs to be all one tongue with which to praise the Lord. It utters a thousand pious follies, in a continuous endeavor to please Him who thus possesses it.
Teresa of Avila
Image
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
Image
No one should think or say anything of another which he would not wish thought or said of himself.
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?
