So great a blessing…
Anyone who is not begun to pray, I beg, for the love of the Lord, not to miss so great a blessing. There is no place here for fear, but only desire.
–Saint Teresa of Ávila (1515-1582)
Do not lose heart…
Therefore if you occasionally lapse into sin, do not lose heart and cease trying to advance, for God will draw good even out of our falls.
–Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)
Face suffering…
Let us strive to face suffering with Christian courage. Then all difficulties will vanish and pain itself will become transformed into joy.
–Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)
Do our best…
Whether your specialty is meditation and prayers, or caring for the sick and sweeping the floors in service of Christ, what should it matter? We are to do our best whatever we do.
–Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)
Only one death, only one life…
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.
–Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)
We have this defect..
Our body has this defect that, the more it is provided care and comforts, the more needs and desires it finds.
–Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)
