While the soul is in mortal si...

While the soul is in mortal sin, nothing can profit it; none of its good works merit an eternal reward, since they do not proceed from God as their first principle, and by Him alone is our virtue real virtue.

Teresa Avilskaya 307 quotes

Whoever has not begun the prac...

Whoever has not begun the practice of prayer, I beg for the love of the Lord not to go without so great a good. There is nothing here to fear but only something to desire.

Let nothing disturb you. Let nothing frighten you. Everything passes away except God. God alone is sufficient.

Let nothing Disturb you, Let nothing frighten you, Though all things pass, God does not change. Patience wins all things. But he lacks nothing who possesses God; For God alone suffices.

Her heart is full of joy with love, for in the Lord her mind is stilled. She has renounced every selfish attachment and draws abiding joy and strength from the One within. She lives not for herself, but lives to serve the Lord of Love in all, and swims across the sea of life breasting its rough waves joyfully.

To wish to act like angels while we are still in this world is nothing but folly.

There is more value in a little study of humility and in a single act of it than in all the knowledge in the world.

Teresa Avilskaya 307 quotes

Humility does not disturb or d...

Humility does not disturb or disquiet or agitate, however great it may be; it comes with peace, delight, and calm. . . . The pain of genuine humility doesn't agitate or afflict the soul; rather, this humility expands it and enables it to serve God more.

Teresa Avilskaya 307 quotes

We shall never learn to know o...

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.

Praised be the Lord, who has redeemed me from myself.

Teresa Avilskaya 307 quotes

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 Avilskaya 307 quotes

It is of great importance, when we begin to practise prayer, not to let ourselves be frightened by our own thoughts.

Teresa Avilskaya 307 quotes

Seldom or never is a poor man ...

Seldom or never is a poor man honored by the world; however worthy of honor he may be, he is apt rather to be despised by it.

Teresa Avilskaya 307 quotes

Strive to close the eyes of the body and open those of the soul and look into your own heart.

Teresa Avilskaya 307 quotes

His Majesty [the Lord] . . . r...

His Majesty [the Lord] . . . rewards great services with trials, and there can be no better reward, for out of trials springs love for God.

Teresa Avilskaya 307 quotes

The more we see that any actio...

The more we see that any action springs not from the motive of obedience, the more evident is it that it is a temptation of the enemy; for when God sends an inspiration, the very first effect of it is to infuse a spirit of docility.

Teresa Avilskaya 307 quotes

Be happy when you are blamed a...

Be happy when you are blamed and accused wrongly, for then you have the chance to see all the bitter, hostile or self-pitying responses that your sinful soul wants to spew out - as if these puny things could in any way defend you! Watch and see if any of these poisons come out of you when your spirit is pricked by an accusation. Only then can you see yourself as you are, and confess thy sin that is within you and forsake yourself again into the Lord's care.

Teresa Avilskaya 307 quotes

If we practice love of neighbor with great perfection, we will have done everything.

Teresa Avilskaya 307 quotes

The important thing is not to think much but to love much; do, then, whatever most arouses you to love.

Love draws forth love.
