Be happy when you are blamed ...

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.

No one should think or say anything of another which he would not wish thought or said of himself.

Teresa Avilskaya 307 quotes

It constantly happens that the Lord permits a soul to fall so that it may grow humbler.

Teresa Avilskaya 307 quotes

Let nothing Disturb you, Let ...

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.

Teresa Avilskaya 307 quotes

Christ has no body now but mine. He prays in me, works in me, looks through my eyes, speaks through my words, works through my hands, walks with my feet and loves with my heart.

Teresa Avilskaya 307 quotes

Let us look at our own faults...

Let us look at our own faults, and not other people's. We ought not to insist on everyone following in our footsteps, nor to take upon ourselves to give instructions in spirituality when, perhaps, we do not even know what it is.

Teresa Avilskaya 307 quotes

It is love alone that gives w...

It is love alone that gives worth to all things.

Teresa Avilskaya 307 quotes

The life of prayer is just lo...

The life of prayer is just love to God, and the custom of being ever with Him.

Teresa Avilskaya 307 quotes

If you seek to carry no other...

If you seek to carry no other crosses but those whose reason you understand, perfection is not for you.

Teresa Avilskaya 307 quotes

Let there be no disappointmen...

Let there be no disappointment when obedience keeps you busy in outward tasks. If it sends you to the kitchen, remember that the Lord walks among the pots and pans.

Teresa Avilskaya 307 quotes

Desire to see God, be fearful...

Desire to see God, be fearful of losing Him, and find joy in everything that can lead to Him. If you act in this way, you will always live in great peace.

Teresa Avilskaya 307 quotes

God is even kinder than you think.

Teresa Avilskaya 307 quotes

Before prayer, endeavour to r...

Before prayer, endeavour to realise Whose Presence you are approaching and to Whom you are about to speak, keeping in mind Whom you are addressing. If our lives were a thousand times as long as they are we should never fully understand how we ought to behave towards God, before Whom the very Angels tremble, Who can do all He wills, and with Whom to wish is to accomplish.

Teresa Avilskaya 307 quotes

The closer one approaches to ...

The closer one approaches to God, the simpler one becomes.

Teresa Avilskaya 307 quotes

They deceive themselves who b...

They deceive themselves who believe that union with God consists in ecstasies or raptures, and in the enjoyment of Him. For it consists in nothing except the surrender and subjection of our will - with our thoughts, words and actions - to the will of God.

Teresa Avilskaya 307 quotes

However softly we speak, God ...

However softly we speak, God is near enough to hear us.

Teresa Avilskaya 307 quotes

Souls who do not practice prayer are like people whose limbs are paralyzed.

Teresa Avilskaya 307 quotes

Each of us has a soul, but we...

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.

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

Teresa Avilskaya 307 quotes

Christ has no body now but yours. No hands, no feet on earth but yours. Yours are the eyes through which he looks compassion on this world. Yours are the feet with which he walks to do good. Yours are the hands through which he blesses all the world. Yours are the hands, yours are the feet, yours are the eyes, you are his body. Christ has no body now on earth but yours.
