Words to live by

The first time I came across this prayer, it was printed on a card we received for our wedding. I thought it was beautiful (and the card was from a dear friend) so I kept it on my dressing table for the first several years of our marriage where I could get inspired by it often. Little did I know how much comfort I'd find in these words over the years.

St. Teresa's Bookmark

Let nothing disturb thee
Let nothing afright thee
All things are passing
God never changes.

Patience obtains all things
He who has God lacks nothing
God alone suffices.

St. Teresa of Avila, pray for us. Help us to find interior peace amidst the storms of life.
