The saints rejoiced at injuries and persecutions, because in forgiving them they had something to present to God when they prayed to Him.

Teresa of Avila

Let nothing disturb you, / Nothing dismay you; / All things are passing: / God never changes.
TERESA OF AVILA

Change Disturb God
Be kind to all and severe to thyself.
TERESA OF AVILA

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

Hope Ourselves Peace Philosophy
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.
TERESA OF AVILA

Action Disturb Ignorance Lose Motivational Ourselves Peace Soul Wrong
From moment to moment one can bear much.
TERESA OF AVILA

Moments Oneself
Each of us has a soul, but we forget to value it. We don’t remember that we are creatures made in the image of God. We don’t understand the great secrets hidden inside of us.
TERESA OF AVILA

Forget Greatness Hide Image Remember Secret Soul Understand Value
It is love alone that gives worth to all things.
TERESA OF AVILA

Alone Love Worth
Let us remember that within us there is a palace of immense magnificence.
TERESA OF AVILA

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

Thinking Virtue Yourself
Never affirm anything unless you are sure it is true.
TERESA OF AVILA

Affirmation True
It is not a matter of thinking a great deal but of loving a great deal, so do whatever arouses you most to love.
TERESA OF AVILA

Deal Greatness Love Thinking Yourself
Always think of yourself as everyone’s servant; look for Christ Our Lord in everyone and you will then have respect and reverence for them all.
TERESA OF AVILA

God Respect Servant Thinking Yourself
For pity’s sake, don’t start meeting troubles halfway.
TERESA OF AVILA

Pity Start Trouble Way
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
Blessed be He, Who came into the world for no other purpose than to suffer.
TERESA OF AVILA
