“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.”

                                                                                    St. Teresa of Avila
