I am quite sure I am more afraid of people who are themselves terrified of the devil than I am of the devil himself.
Teresa of AvilaUntilled soil, however fertile it may be, will bear thistles and thorns; so it is with man's mind.
Teresa of AvilaI felt a great dislike to journeys, especially when they were long. But once I had started, I thought nothing of them, thinking of Him for Whose service they were undertaken and remembering that Our Lord would be praised and the most Holy Sacrament would dwell in the house I was going to found... It should be a great consolation to us - though many of us do not think of it - that Jesus Christ, true God and true man, dwells as He does in so many places in the most Holy Sacrament
