Prayer by St. Teresa of Avila
Lord, grant that I may always allow myself to be guided by You, always follow Your plans, and perfectly accomplish Your Holy Will. Grant that in all things, great and small, today and all the days of my life, I may do whatever You require of me.
Help me respond to the slightest prompting of Your Grace, so that I may be Your trustworthy instrument for Your honor. May Your Will be done in time and in eternity by me, in me, and through me.
Amen.
Saint Teresa of Avila
St. Teresa of Avila
She is a beautifully human yet holy and defiantly saintly, who loved her God passionately. And she loved to eat. isn’t that great! She loved food. Finally a saint after my own heart! ha-ha. She said, after devouring a partridge, "there is a time for partridge and a time for penance." She tells us we need to discipline ourselves in prayer but also to relax and have recreation. She said, "May God preserve us from stupid nuns." She was a master of contemplative prayer.
Her heart was miraculously peirced by God and from that moment onward in her fourties she was on fire for God.
Many of her complete books are in the downloads page of this site for free. You can download them onto your device and read at your leisure. You will grow in you prayer like and devotion to God by reading her books.
