God alone is enough.
Let nothing upset you.
let nothing startle you.
All things pass.
God does not change.
Patience wins
all it seeks.
Whoever has God
lacks nothing.
God alone is enough.
St Teresa Avila

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.
St Teresa Avila

Let mine eyes see...
Let mine eyes see thee, sweet Jesus of Nazareth.
Let mine eyes see thee, and then see death.
Let them see that can, Roses and Jessamine.
Seeing thy face most fair, all blossom are therein.
Flower of seraphin, sweet Jesus of Nazareth.
Let mine eyes see thee, and then see death.
Nothing I require, where my Jesus is.
Anguish all desire, saving only this.
All my help is his. He only succoureth.
Let mine eyes see thee, and then see death.
St Teresa Avila.

General Argument of this Book!

This book treats of maxims and counsels which Teresa of Jesus givesto her daughters and sisters in religion, belonging to the Conventswhich, with the favour of Our Lord and of the glorious virgin, Motherof God, Our Lady, she has founded according to the First Rule of OurLady of Carmel. In particular she addresses it to the sisters of theConvent of Saint Joseph of Avila, which was the first Convent, and ofwhich she was Prioress when she wrote it.

PROTESTATIONS
In all that I shall say in this Book, I submit to what is taught byOur Mother! if there is anything in it contrary to this, it will bewithout my knowledge. Therefore, for the love of Our Lord, I beg thelearned men who are to revise it to look at it very carefully and toamend any faults of this nature which there may be in it and the manyothers which it will have of other kinds. If there is anything good init, let this be to the glory and honour of God and in the service ofHis most sacred Mother, our Patroness and Lady, whose habit, though allunworthily, I wear.
