So after a frustrating half hour trying to find an older set of quotes and knowing I had distinguished each of them by date alone, I have decided to do the heading as you see it today. A life changing move for each of us I’m sure. lol
Saint Teresa of Ávila , born Teresa Sánchez de Cepeda y Ahumada , also called Saint Teresa of Jesus (1515 – 1582), was a Spanish noblewoman who chose a monastic life. She was a Carmelite nun, prominent Spanish mystic, religious reformer, author, and theologian of the contemplative life and prayer.
“In light of heaven, the worst suffering on earth will be seen to be no more serious than one night in a bad hotel.”
“God save us from gloomy saints!”
“If this is how you treat your friends, no wonder you have so few.” ( This she said to the heavens after being thrown from a horse )
“But always when I was without a book, my soul at once became disturbed, and my thoughts wandered.”
“For prayer is nothing else than being on terms of friendship with God.”
“I cannot think why we should be astonished at all the evils which exist in the Church, when those who ought to be models on which all may pattern their virtues are annulling the work wrought in the religious Orders by the spirit of the saints of old.”
“For at times it happens that some trifle will cause as much suffering to one as a great trial will to another; little things can bring much distress to persons who have sensitive natures. If you are not like them, do not fail to be compassionate.”
