St. Teresa of Avila says: “Praise be to Jesus.”

“I have come to discuss once again the virtuous life. Hope is the foundation of peace in the present moment for a secure future; but those consecrated to the United Hearts must do more than hope in God's Mercy – they must trust in God's Mercy. Hope that is not enveloped in trust is superficial, for it is trust which lends stability to hope.”

“You can hope that something will come to pass but if you do not trust, your hope will falter. Hope and trust are the benchmarks of faith. Faith is always supported in and through Holy Love.”
