the soul and the voice of Santa Teresa de Jesus are truly universal. His legacy comes always fresh and full of a strange force, unusual and new, for men of any age. So, I think the Christian century can be found in the Holy of Avila a solid spirituality to cope with the strong current onslaught of secularism. Serve these annotations to one of his most famous poems in honor and memory of the holy the whole Church celebrates today.
In the midst of a world without God, man of God that is every child of God, has not scare. "Raise your thought, goes to heaven, you grieve for nothing, nothing will disturb " we repeating, like a litany, over and over again, to Santa Teresa.
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today and forever, that is always with us, not abandon us. He is our strength. "Jesus Christ is, with big chest, and, come what may, nothing frighten you."
By the way, every day, the temptations of evil, the world and the flesh that make us waver, hesitate, to surrender many times. Discouragement comes, so Teresa, who also experienced all that, reminds us: "See the glory of the world? It is vain glory, there is nothing stable everything passes. "
We want to be happy, that no fear atenace us, we want to be safe and not at the mercy of wind or waves. So "aspires to the sky, always hard, faithful and full of promise God never changes."
Goodness of God offers us that assurance, that firmly based on and fueled by love. But it is good to be grab y no soltarlo. Hay que saber esperar. “Ámala cual merece bondad inmensa; pero no hay amor fino sin la paciencia .”
La raíz del desánimo es que no podemos alcanzar lo que queremos. Porque confiamos en nosotros mismos, más que en Dios. Santa Teresa nos ilumina: “Confianza y fe viva mantenga el alma, que quien cree y espera, todo lo alcanza .”
Y como pasando por un puente sobre el abismo que no deja de solicitarnos y de ponernos trabas en nuestro camino de perfección, en nuestra búsqueda de la última morada en la que habita Jesucristo, el cristiano fiel se sabe insurance. "From Hell harassed although Riviere, mock its fury who God is."
The road will be hard, long and tasteless, but where your treasure is, there your heart will, therefore, "Vénganle distress, crosses, miseries, being God his treasure, lacks nothing."
God alone suffices! That is the heartfelt cry of the soul that loves the Lord, knowing that the other spare. Is the motto of the saint and who wants to be. "Go world's goods, id such vain, but lost everything, only God enough. "
