Jesus Christ endured for us…
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.
–Saint Teresa of Ávila (1515-1582)
Do not fear death…
No, my children, I do not fear death; on the contrary, I desire it so that I may be united forever with my God.
–Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)
Hold fast to God…
Consider seriously how quickly people change, and how little trust is to be had in them; and hold fast to God, who does not change.
–Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)
Surrender our will…
We can only learn to know ourselves and do what we can – namely, surrender our will and fulfill God’s will in us.
–Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)
Tears over answered prayers…
There are more tears shed over answered prayers than over unanswered prayers.
–Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)
Don’t imagine you would…
Don’t imagine that, if you had a great deal of time, you would spend more of it in prayer. Get rid of that idea; it is no hindrance to prayer to spend your time well.
–Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)
