Surrender our will…
We can only learn to know ourselves and do what we can – namely, surrender our will and fulfill God’s will in us.
–Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)
Tears over answered prayers…
There are more tears shed over answered prayers than over unanswered prayers.
–Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)
Don’t imagine you would…
Don’t imagine that, if you had a great deal of time, you would spend more of it in prayer. Get rid of that idea; it is no hindrance to prayer to spend your time well.
–Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)
Obeying God…
There is absolutely nothing that gives us more peace or does more to make us holy than obeying the will of God.
–Jean-Pierre de Caussade (1675–1751)
I will live as…
I will live as the child of an infinitely good, wise, and powerful father whom I desire to please, and to make happy.
–Jean-Pierre de Caussade (1675–1751)
This treasure is everywhere…
But what is the secret of finding this treasure? There isn’t one. This treasure is everywhere. It is offered to us all the time and wherever we are. All creatures, friends, or foes, pour it out in abundance, and it flows through every fiber of our body and soul until it reaches the very core of our being. If we open our mouths they will be filled.
— Jean-Pierre de Caussade (1675-1751)
