Saint Teresa of Avila

Our souls may lose their peace and even disturb other people's, if we are always criticizing trivial actions - which often are not real defects at all, but we construe them wrongly through our ignorance of their motives.

Let nothing disturb thee, Nothing affright thee; All things are passing; God never changeth; Patient endurance Attaineth to all things. Who God possesseth In nothing is wanting: Alone God sufficeth.

The feeling remains that God is on the journey, too.

I know the power obedience has of making things easy which seem impossible.

Do you think it is only a little thing to possess a house from which lovely things can be seen?

More tears are shed over answered prayers than unanswered ones.

I do not fear Satan half so much as I fear those who fear him.
