Learning from Saints
Today is the feast of St. Theresa of Avila, even though she lived over 600 years ago,  yet her words still ring loud and clear.....

"Let nothing trouble you
Let nothing frighten you
All things pass away
God never changes
Patience obtain all things
Who possesses God lacks nothing
God alone suffice" ( St Theresa of Avila)

Brave and beautiful words, even though very familiar, read often  many times over the years, yet these words can jump out of the pages because each one can identify with them at some point during this life journey .... Who is there without some trouble? is there anyone not afraid of something?......... Nothing remains the same but in the midst of the heat do we remember this simple truth?........Rather,  don't we become impatient?...
....
St. Theresa was only echoing the Words of Jesus: ...... "Let not your hearts be troubled........ Do  not be afraid......Heaven and earth shall pass away but my Words shall not pass away........ the Lord is my Shepherd, there is nothing I  shall want............"

On this feast day of St Theresa of Avila, let us be reminded and or encouraged that  who possesses God lacks nothing for God alone is ENOUGH! ........
