The Life of St. Theresa

The Prayer of Quiet

“There are many, many souls that reach this state and few that pass beyond it.”

“It is impossible to forfeit so great a blessing save through gross blindness caused by much evil.”

“This spark is given to the soul by God as a sign or pledge that He is already choosing it for great things if it will prepare itself to receive them.”

“For, even though they keep falling, there is one sign that the Lord has been with them- namely, the speed with which they rise again.”
