How often I failed in my duty to God, because I was not leaning on the strong pillar of prayer.
-- St. Teresa of Avila
Jacob did not cease to be a Saint because he had to attend to his flocks.
-- St. Teresa of Avila
The most potent and acceptable prayer is the prayer that leaves the best effects. I don't mean it must immediately fill the soul with desire . . . The best effects [are] those that are followed up by actions-----when the soul not only desires the honor of God, but really strives for it.
-- St. Teresa of Avila
We must pray without tiring, for the salvation of mankind does not depend upon material success . . . but on Jesus alone.
-- St. Frances Xavier Cabrini
I would never want any prayer that would not make the virtues grow within me.
-- St. Teresa of Avila
You pay God a compliment by asking great things of Him.
-- St. Teresa of Avila
