It is not a matter of thinking a great deal but of loving a great deal, so do whatever arouses you most to love.
Teresa of AvilaLet us consider what the glorious Virgin endured, and what the holy apostles suffered, and we shall find that they who were nearest to Jesus Christ were the most afflicted.
Teresa of AvilaChrist has no body now on earth but yours, no hands, no feet but yours. Yours are the eyes with which Christ looks out his compassion to the world. Yours are the feet with which he is to go about doing good. Yours are the hands with which he is to bless us now.
