Peace in Prayer: Wisdom from Teresa of Avila
Overview
Sometimes prayer seems effortless. Other times, no matter who we are or what our vocation is in life, we are bored, distracted, or consumed by some other interest. The temptation to give up can be quite attractive. Teresa of Avila teaches us to both live and pray in our own reality. Then we can find God’s peace and his presence in the midst of our daily lives. This collection of her advice on prayer gives us insight into her way of deepening one’s relationship with God and bears priceless treasures that will stir up renewed fervor to seek the Lord in the present moment of each day.

Top Highlights
“The Lord doesn’t look so much at the greatness of our works as at the love with which they are done.” (Page 10)
“There’s no queen like humility for making the King surrender. Humility” (Page 14)
“And realize that the one who has more humility will be the one who possesses Him more; and the one who has less will possess Him less. For I cannot understand how there could be humility without love or love without humility; nor are these two virtues possible without detachment from all creatures.” (Page 14)
“even though our works are small they will have the value our love for Him would have merited had they been great” (Page xix)
“for this King doesn’t give Himself but to those who give themselves entirely to Him” (Page 15)
