God Quote by Saint Teresa of Avila — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“I am compelled by the idea of a God Who would not demand that I ascend to some state of elevated divinity that I am entirely incapable of achieving. Rather, I am caught up in a God Who was audacious enough to descend beneath me so that I might be raised above me.”

“Only God is awesome.”

“For I know that we laughers have a gross cousinship with the most high, and it is this contrast and perpetual quarrel which feeds a spring of merriment in the soul of a sane man.”

“The love of Christ is always there and unchanging, no matter what we do, but it is when we are obedient that we actually begin to feel it.”

“In our time mass or collective production has entered our economics, our politics, even our religion, so that some nations have substituted the idea collective for the idea God. This in my time is the danger. There is great tension in the world, tension toward a breaking point, and men are unhappy and confused. At such a time it seems natural and good to me to ask myself these questions. What do I believe in? What must I fight for and what must I fight against?”
