Blessed be He, Who came into the world for no other purpose than to suffer.

Teresa of Avila

It is true that we cannot be free from sin, but at least let our sins not always be the same.
TERESA OF AVILA

Freedom Ourselves Sin True
The closer one approaches to God, the simpler one becomes.
TERESA OF AVILA

God Oneself Simplicity
The life of prayer is just love to God, and the custom of being ever with Him.
TERESA OF AVILA

Custom God Himself Life Love Prayer
Happy the heart where love has come to birth.
TERESA OF AVILA

Born Happiness Love
Souls who do not practice prayer are like people whose limbs are paralyzed.
TERESA OF AVILA

Paralyze People Practice Prayer Soul
Strive to close the eyes of the body and open those of the soul and look into your own heart.
TERESA OF AVILA

Body Eyes Heart Open Soul
God is even kinder than you think.
TERESA OF AVILA

God Kindness Thinking Yourself
Everything seems to me to pass so quickly that we must concentrate on how to die rather than on how to live. How sweet it is to die if one has lived on the Cross with Christ.
TERESA OF AVILA

Death Live Oneself Quick
It is of great importance, when we begin to practise prayer, not to let ourselves be frightened by our own thoughts.
TERESA OF AVILA

Beginning Fear Greatness Important Ourselves Thinking
Let nothing disturb thee; Let nothing dismay thee; All things pass; God never changes. Patience attains All that it strives for.
TERESA OF AVILA

Change God Patience Strive
From moment to moment one can bear much.
TERESA OF AVILA

Moments Oneself
Consider seriously how quickly people change, and how little trust is to be had in them; and hold fast to God, Who does not change.
TERESA OF AVILA

Change Hold People Quick Serious
If you seek to carry no other crosses but those whose reason you understand, perfection is not for you.
TERESA OF AVILA

Carry Perfection Reason Seek Understand Yourself
Don’t let your sins turn into bad habits.
TERESA OF AVILA

Bad Habit Sin Yourself
We shall never learn to know ourselves except by endeavoring to know God; for, beholding His greatness we realize our own littleness; His purity shows us our foulness; and by meditating upon His humility we find how very far we are from being humble.
TERESA OF AVILA

Far Greatness Humble Learning Ourselves Purity
From silly devotions and from sour-faced saints, good Lord, deliver us.
TERESA OF AVILA

Deliever Devotion Face God Goodness

Blessed be He, Who came into the world for no other purpose than to suffer.
