St. Teresa of Avila
For Reflection:
St. Teresa of Avila gives us two insights about making our prayer effective in times of dryness or distraction or discouragement. What are they? How can I employ them all of time, especially today?
Give Yourself Completely
“However softly we speak, He is near enough to hear us. Neither is there any need for wings to go to find Him. All one need do is go into solitude and look at Him within oneself…Since He does not force our will, He takes what we give Him; but He does not give Himself completely unless we give ourselves completely.”
