The way of suffering…
The ultimate consolation: the way of suffering is the surest road to union with the Lord. The saving power of joyfully borne suffering is particularly necessary in our time.
–Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (1891-1942)
Truth and love…
Do not accept anything as truth that lacks love and do not accept anything as love which lacks truth. One without the other is a destructive lie.
–Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (1891-1942)
Whoever surrenders unconditionally…
Whoever surrenders unconditionally to the Lord will be chosen by him as an instrument for building his kingdom.
–Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (1891-1942)
By means of the Liturgy…
God himself teaches us to go forward with our hand in His by means of the Church’s liturgy.
— Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (1891-1942)
Chosen for the cross…
One cannot desire freedom from the cross but one is especially chosen for the cross.
— Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (1891-1942)
What women are…
The world doesn’t need what women have, it needs what women are.
–Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (1891-1942)
