― Teresa of Ávila, The Way of Perfection

“Hope consists, amidst radical poverty, of expecting everything from God with full confidence. God will give us his gifts not according to our virtues, our qualities, our merits, or our good deeds, but according to our hope.”

“We often live as if our happiness depended on having. But I don't know anyone who is really happy because of what he or she has. True joy, happiness, and inner peace come from the giving of ourselves to others. A happy life is a life for others. That truth, however, is usually discovered when we are confronted with our brokenness.”
