Turn your eyes upon yourself and look at yourself inwardly….You will find your Master; He will not fail you: indeed, the less outward comfort you have, the greater the joy He will give you. He is full of compassion and never fails those who are afflicted and out of favor if they trust in Him alone….Either you believe this or you do not: if you do, as you should, why do you wear yourselves to death with worry?
–Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)
