away. God never changes. Patience obtains everything. God alone is
enough.

Dream that the more you struggle, the more you prove the love that
you bear your God, and the more you will rejoice one day with your
Beloved, in a happiness and rapture that can never end.
- Saint Teresa of Avila
Hope, O my soul, hope. You know neither the day nor the hour. Watch
carefully, for everything passes quickly, even though your impatience
makes doubtful what is certain, and turns a very short time into a long
one.
- Saint Teresa of Avila
You ought to make every effort to free yourselves even from venial sin, and to do what is most perfect.
- Saint Teresa of Avila
If Christ Jesus dwells in a man as his friend and noble leader, that
man can endure all things, for Christ helps and strengthens us and never
abandons us. He is a true friend. And I clearly see that is we expect
to please him and receive an abundance of his graces, God desires that
these graces must come to us from the hands of Christ, through his most
sacred humanity, in which God takes delight. All blessings come to us
through our Lord. He will teach us, for in beholding his life we find
that he is the best example. What more do we desire from such a good
friend at our side? Unlike our friends in the world, he will never
abandon us when we are troubled or distressed. Blessed is the one who
truly loves him and always keeps him near. Whenever we think of Christ
we should recall the love that led him to bestow on us so many graces
and favors, and also the great love God showed in giving us in Christ a
pledge of his love; for love calls for love in return. Let us strive to
keep this always before our eyes and to rouse ourselves to love him. For
is at some time the Lord should grant us the grace of impressing his
love on our hearts, all will become easy for us and we shall accomplish
great things quickly and without effort.
