“There is no task that could be presented to me, no matter how hard, that I would hesitate to undertake. For I have already experienced in many ways that if I strive at the outset with determination to do it, even in this life His Majesty pays the soul in such ways that only he who has this joy understands it.”
St. Teresa of Avila
*The above was taken from Fire Within by Reverend Thomas Dubay, S.M.
(Chap. 2, p. 21).
