Feast of St. Teresa of Avila
“I long to place in each heart the desire to love Me more. This is the way to a deeper personal holiness. This can only happen if the soul empties his heart of worldly concerns and affections. Allow your hearts to desire more knowledge about My Will. What do I lead you to according to My Divine Will? How can you get to know me better? What is your heart attached to in the world – certain pastimes, disordered attachment to certain people, perhaps love of money or worldly esteem?”
“Learn to pray before making decisions. This is how I can become more a part of your everyday life. Surrender your crosses to Me – great and small. It is in this way, I am better able to become more real to you. My Presence is always at your disposal. Ask Me to feel My Presence.”
