Image
Mental prayer in my opinion is nothing else than an intimate sharing between friends it means taking time frequently to be alone with Him who we know loves us. The important thing is not to think much but to love much and so do that which best stirs you to love. Love is not great delight but desire to please God in everything.
Teresa of Avila
Image
Prayer is an act of love. Words are not needed.
Teresa of Avila
Image
It is certain that the love of God does not consist in this sweetness and tenderness which we for the most part desire but rather in serving Him in justice, fortitude, and humility. His Majesty seeks and loves courageous souls.
Teresa of Avila
Image
We bloomed in Spring. Our bodies are the leaves of God. The apparent seasons of life and death our eyes can suffer but our souls, dear, I will just say this forthright: they are God Himself, we will never perish until He does.
Teresa of Avila
Image
Untilled soil, however fertile it may be, will bear thistles and thorns so it is with man's mind.

Thank God for the things that I do not own.
Teresa of Avila

It should be observed that perfect love of God consists not in those delights, tears and sentiments of devotion that we generally seek, but in a strong determination and keen desire to please God in all things, and to promote His glory.

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
How often I failed in my duty to God, because I was not leaning on the strong pillar of prayer.
Teresa of Avila
Image
Praised be the Lord, who has redeemed me from myself.
Teresa of Avila
Image
Life is a night spent in an uncomfortable inn.
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
Let us look at our own faults, and not other people's. We ought not to insist on everyone following in our footsteps, nor to take upon ourselves to give instructions in spirituality when, perhaps, we do not even know what it is.
Teresa of Avila
Image
Trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
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
You ought to make every effort to free yourselves even from venial sin, and to do what is most perfect.
Teresa of Avila
