From silly devotions and from sour-faced saints, good Lord, deliver us.
Teresa of Avila

Teresa of Avila

Remember that you have only one soul that you have only one death to die that you have only one life. . . . If you do this, there will be many things about which you care nothing.
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.

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
I was living an extremely burdensome life, because every time I prayed, I became more clearly aware of my faults. On the one hand, God was calling me. On the other, I was following the way of the world. Doing what God wanted made me happy but I felt bound by the things of this world.
Teresa of Avila
Image
Whenever conscience commands anything, there is only one thing to fear, and that is fear.
Teresa of Avila
Image
All things must come to the soul from its roots, from where it is planted.

Lord, how Thou dost afflict Thy lovers!
Teresa of Avila
