Whenever we think of Christ, we should recall the love that led Him to bestow on us so many graces and favors, and also the great love God showed in giving us in Christ a pledge of His love for love calls for love in return. Let us strive to keep this always before our eyes and to rouse ourselves to love Him.

There seem to me a great many blessings which come from true poverty and I should be sorry to be deprived of them.
Teresa of Avila
Image
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
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
Image
It is love alone that gives worth to all things.
