Words of Wisdom from St. Teresa of Avila

[FlyersFan]

My Confirmation saint - St. Teresa of Avila.
Born in 1515. 
Died for three days from an illness and came back miraculously. 
Then died for good in 1582.
Many miracles are associated with her both in life and in death.
She reformed the Carmelite order in the Catholic church.
It had grown lax and worldly. 
She and St. John of the Cross revived it and wrote many spiritual works.

The famous words from St. Teresa of Avila - 

“Let nothing disturb you,
Let nothing frighten you,
All things are passing away:
God never changes.
Patience obtains all things.
Whoever has God lacks nothing;
God alone suffices.”

So .... what do you think of her most famous words of advice?

Keep it polite ... no religion wars ... what do you think of the advice?

I was Third Order Carmelite for many years and am familiar with her writings.  My husband still is Third Order Carmelite.   We try to keep these words in mind.  My husband does a good job.  Me?  Not so much.  I worry about everything, especially the suffering that comes with illness' and with potential money problems as we get older and the income drops.
