About Teresa of ÃÂvila: Teresa of Ávila is considered to be a founder of the Discalced Carmelites along with John of the Cross.
In order that love be fully satisfied, It is necessary that It lower Itself and that It lower Itself to nothingness and transform this nothingness into fire.
If this is how you treat your friends, no wonder you have so many enemies.
Let nothing disturb you, Let nothing frighten you, All things are passing away: God never changes. Patience obtains all things. Whoever has God lacks nothing; God alone suffices.
Christ has no body now on earth but yours, no hands but yours, no feet but yours, Yours are the eyes through which to look out Christ's compassion to the world Yours are the feet with which he is to go about doing good; Yours are the hands with which...
It is love alone that gives worth to all things.
Let nothing disturb you, nothing frighten you, all things are passing, God is unchanging. Patience gains all; nothing is lacking to those who have God: God alone is sufficient.
God withholds Himself from no one who perseveres.
Love turns work into rest.
