Prayer is nothing else…
Prayer is nothing else than being on terms of friendship with God.
–Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)
Risk all for God…
Those who in fact risk all for God will find that they have both lost all and gained all.
–Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)
God does not give…
God does not give Himself wholly to us until He sees that we are giving ourselves wholly to Him.
–Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)
On fire with thirst…
The soul does not just feel like seeing God, it longs for him fervently, it is on fire with thirst for him.
–Saint Jerome (c. 340-420)
We must love Christ…
We must love Christ and always seek Christ’s embraces. Then everything difficult will seem easy.
— Saint Jerome (c. 340-420)
God gives grace…
It is not enough for me that God has given me grace once, but He must give it always. I ask, that I may receive; and when I have received, I ask again. I am covetous of receiving God’s bounty. He is never slow in giving, nor am I ever weary of receiving. The more I drink, the more thirsty I become.
— Saint Jerome (c. 340-420)
