The Serenity Prayer of St. Teresa of Avila

[pulchraesamicamea]

Just wanted to share this beautiful songified version of St. Teresa of Avila’s Serenity Prayer.
This song is a very popular hymn sung in Korean churches. I personally love this song.

English translation:
Let nothing disturb you; nothing frighten you.
All things are passing. God never changes.
Patience obtains all things.
Nothing is wanting to him who possesses God.
God alone suffices.

St. Teresa of Avila, pray for us.

 

[Tis_Bearself]

I wish it were a hymn in US churches. I love Nada te turbe. I seem to recall St Teresa suffered from anxiety. I can relate.

I also heard about St. Teresa of Avila having anxiety. What a great saint! Pray for us.
That’s why I just love Carmelite spirituality- it’s just so peaceful and beautiful.
