Let nothing trouble you — St. Teresa of Avila

just back from barcelona thought i'd share this prayer of St. Teresa of Avila a Spanish mystic of the C16 ...

Let nothing trouble you.

Let nothing scare you.

All is fleeting.

God alone is unchanging.

Patience

Everything obtains.

Who possesses God

Nothing wants.

God alone suffices.


From The Collected Works of St. Teresa of Avila Volume Three translated by Kieran Kavanaugh and Otilio Rodriquez (c) 1985
