A SAINT'S PRAYER FOR US

Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)

 Saint Teresa, Spanish mystic, prays for us:

May today there be peace within.

May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be.

May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith

in yourself and others.

May you use the gifts that you have received,

and pass on the love that has been given to you.

May you be content with yourself just the way you are.

Let this knowledge settle into your bones,

and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.

It is there for each and every one of us. 

Thank you, Teresa, for praying for us; for sending your prayer across the ages to each one who reads it; for speaking directly to me. I have read every line slowly.  I will trust that I am where I am meant to be.  Word by word, what you wish for me is what I wish for myself.  To know the love of God in my very bones, so that they are never dry.  How did you know?
