Strive to close the eyes of the body and open those of the soul and look into your own heart.

Teresa of Avila

There is no affliction, trial, or labor difficult to endure, when we consider the torments and sufferings which Our Lord Jesus Christ endured for us.
TERESA OF AVILA

Difficult Endurance God Ourselves Suffering
Blessed be He, Who came into the world for no other purpose than to suffer.
TERESA OF AVILA

Blessing Purpose Suffering World
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
If Christ Jesus dwells in a man as his friend and noble leader, that man can endure all things, for Christ helps and strengthens us and never abandons us. He is a true friend.
TERESA OF AVILA

Abandonment Friendship God Leadership True
Let nothing disturb you, / Nothing dismay you; / All things are passing: / God never changes.

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

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.
TERESA OF AVILA

He who has God finds he is lacking nothing.
TERESA OF AVILA

God Himself Satisfaction
Christ does not force our will, He only takes what we give Him. But He does not give Himself entirely until He sees that we yield ourselves entirely to Him.
TERESA OF AVILA

Our body has this defect that, the more it is provided care and comforts, the more needs and desires it finds.
