Raise this morning your thoughts of love and invoke my God in them. What more can you ask for, if your soul is perfumed and my God is the fortune that encourages your journey? Have you not seen in the sorrow that life presents to you, the trials that you must master like reins? For like a colt thy world is already running in a fierce race, but it has mistaken the goal that leads it to the end.

Therefore, keep in mind that love is never absent, nor is it ever put off from the soul; it is a sentiment that moves the heart, and it is purer than snow, if it is in love with God.

Become a heartfelt reason for a sealed commitment, which in love was agreed between souls of worth, that's why night and day your pain is comforted and in your spirit shaped, why you are in life.

Your wound will heal, giving light to your countenance; is it not enough for you to recover your joy? Then rise up now, like the birds to heaven, for it is no mystery to you what my soul felt, and for what yesterday I died, today I send it to you in my longing.

God is Father, Light and Life, being present in his children, poor is the soul that absent in ignorance walks, and in unreason raves, losing himself in a death, for death I call the life of him who forgets my God, being an outcast in his fate.

It is toil and heat that your world provokes; go ahead, fight now, for tomorrow you will see the glory that He who sends me now will give you, to show you in a new dawn what one day you will attain.

Teresa of Jesus
