Teresa of Avila

For, as I said a little way back, perfect souls are in no way repelled by trials, but rather desire them and pray for them and love them. They are like soldiers: the more wars there are, the better they are pleased, because they hope to emerge from them with the greater riches.

Teach by works more than words.
Teresa of Avila
Image
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
Image
God, deliver me from sullen saints.
Teresa of Avila
Image
The important thing is not to think much but to love much do, then, whatever most arouses you to love.

There was the torture of sermons, and that not a slight one, for I was very fond of them.
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
What peace can we hope to find elsewhere if we have none within us
