Let nothing disturb you; Let nothing frighten you. All things are passing. God never changes. Patience obtains all things. Nothing is wanting to him who possesses God. God alone suffices. -Teresa of AvilaFor her Feast Day I am making triple Chocolate Cake, because she is the only saint I can find on record singing the praises of chocolate, and that is enough of an excuse to make a cake.
In all seriousness, I have come to love her for her strength. She gives me hope, when you read her, you see her flaws, she was not always a perky happy women, even in her life of faith, but she was honest and pious. I can only hope to be both.
