From heaven even the most miserable life will look like one bad night at an inconvenient hotel.

Teresa of Avila

Do you know when people really become spiritual? It is when they become the slaves of God and are branded with His sign, which is the sign of the Cross, in token that they have given Him their freedom.
TERESA OF AVILA

Brand Freedom God Himself People Slave Spiritual
Love draws forth love.
TERESA OF AVILA

Love One Liner
True love grows by sacrifice and the more thoroughly the soul rejects natural satisfaction the stronger and more detached its tenderness becomes.

What peace can we hope to find elsewhere if we have none within us.
TERESA OF AVILA

TERESA OF AVILA

Death Live Oneself Quick
He who has God finds he is lacking nothing.

Life is a night spent in an uncomfortable inn.

It constantly happens that the Lord permits a soul to fall so that it may grow humbler.

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.
TERESA OF AVILA

Care Death Remember Soul Yourself
Blessed be He, Who came into the world for no other purpose than to suffer.
TERESA OF AVILA

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