“Once the Lord told me that I was not obeying, unless I was determined to suffer. I must fix my eyes on all that he had suffered and I should find everything easy.”
St. Teresa of Avila

For Reflection:
In light of St. Teresa’s quote and in light of the life of Christ, what is the connection between obedience and suffering? How can keeping our eyes on Jesus provide consolation in the midst of our obedience?
