Let us live in such a way as not to be afraid to die.

Teresa of Avila

Do not think you have gained a virtue unless you have first been tried by its opposite.
TERESA OF AVILA

Thinking Virtue Yourself
Out of suffering comes the serious mind; out of salvation, the grateful heart; out of endurance, fortitude; out of deliverance faith. Patient endurance attends to all things.

About the injunction of the Apostle Paul that women should keep silent in church? Don’t go by one text only.
TERESA OF AVILA

Church Silence Women
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.

Far Greatness Humble Learning Ourselves Purity
Much more is accomplished by a single word of the Our Father said, now and then, from our heart, than by the whole prayer repeated many times in haste and without attention.
