Acceptance, Grace, Page: Quotes, Quote Author, Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (1891-1942)
God is there in these moments of rest and can give us in a single instant exactly what we need. Then the rest of the day can take its course, under the same effort and strain, perhaps, but in peace. And when night looks back and you see how fragmentary everything has been, and how much you planned that has gone undone, and all the reasons you have to be embarrassed and ashamed: just take everything exactly as it is, put it in God’s hands and leave it to Him – really rest – and start the next day as a new life.
–Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (1891-1942)
