MEDITATION ...


from "works" of St. Teresa of Jesus, virgin

(Opusc. "The Book of Life," chap. 22.6 to 7.14)
always remember the love of Christ

who as a friend to Jesus Christ and follows a captain so magnanimous as he certainly can endure all things for Jesus it helps and gives strength, is never less than sincere and loves. Indeed, it has always recognized and still see clearly that we can not please God and that he receive great graces, if not by the hands of the most sacred humanity of Christ, in which he said he was pleased.
I've done it many times experience, and he told me the Lord himself. I saw clearly that we through this door, if you want the Supreme Majesty shows us her big secret. We should not seek another way, even if you have reached the summit of contemplation, because this way you are unsure. It is from him, our Lord, we are all good. He will instruct us.
plot his life, it will most perfect model. What can we desire more, when we alongside such a good friend who never abandons us in our sufferings and misfortunes, as do the friends in the world? Blessed is he who loves him for real and always with you! We look at the glorious apostle Paul could not help but always have the name on the lips of Jesus, because he had clearly fixed in his heart. Known the truth, I considered and I have learned that some very contemplative saints, like Francis, Anthony of Padua, Bernard, Catherine of Siena, did not follow another path. We must walk this road with great freedom, abandoning ourselves in God's hands if he wants to build between the principles of his court, we gladly accept this grace.
Whenever then, we think of Christ, let us remember the love that drove him to give us so many graces, and the keen love that God has shown us in giving us a token of his affection with which he follows us: love it question love. So let us strive to take this truth and to arouse to love. If he was doing the Lord's grace, once, in the heart of imparting this love, everything becomes easy and we would do a lot, quick and effortless.
