Saint Teresa of Avila

Quotes by Saint Teresa of Avila

I was living an extremely burdensome life, because every time I prayed, I became more clearly aware of my faults. On the one hand, God was calling me. On the other, I was following the way of the world. Doing what God wanted made me happy; but I felt bound by the things of this world.

Saint Teresa of Avila

For prayer is nothing else than being on terms of friendship with God.

Saint Teresa of Avila

Accustom yourself continually to make many acts of love, for they enkindle and melt the soul.

Saint Teresa of Avila
