More quotes by Teresa of Avila
To converse with You, O King of glory, no third person is needed, You are always ready in the Sacrament of the Altar to give audience to all. All who desire You always find You there, and converse with You face to face
Teresa of Avila
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
Our soul can find in the Blessed Sacrament all the joys and consolations it desires.
Teresa of Avila
The surest way to determine whether one possesses the love of God is to see whether he or she loves his or her neighbor. These two loves are never separated. Rest assured, the more you progress in love of neighbor the more your love of God will increase.
Teresa of Avila
If you fall sometimes, you must not be discouraged.
Teresa of Avila
It is not so essential to think much as to love much.
Teresa of Avila
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
Jacob did not cease to be a Saint because he had to attend to his flocks.
Teresa of Avila
What a great favor God does to those He places in the company of good people!
Teresa of Avila
My father was a man of great charity towards the poor, and compassion for the sick, and also for servants so much so, that he never could be persuaded to keep slaves, for he pitied them so much: and a slave belonging to one of his brothers being once in his house, was treated by him with as much tenderness as his own children.
Teresa of Avila
Blessed be He, Who came into the world for no other purpose than to suffer.
Teresa of Avila
Ah, how true it is that we love ourselves too much and proceed with too much human prudence, that we may not lose an atom of our consideration! Oh, what a great mistake that is! The Saints did not act thus.
Teresa of Avila
Lord, how Thou dost afflict Thy lovers!
Teresa of Avila
Whoever has God lacks nothing. God alone suffices.
Teresa of Avila
How often I failed in my duty to God, because I was not leaning on the strong pillar of prayer.
Teresa of Avila
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
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
Strive to close the eyes of the body and open those of the soul and look into your own heart.
Teresa of Avila
It is a dangerous thing to be satisfied with ourselves.
Teresa of Avila
To have courage for whatever comes in life - everything lies in that.
