Much harm may result from bad company and we are inclined by nature to follow what is worse rather than what is better. - Teresa of Ávila

Since God has given it such great dignity, permitting it to wander at will through the rooms of the castle, from the lowest to the highest. Let it not force itself to remain for very long in the same mansion, even the one of self-knowledge.

All the trials we endure cannot be compared to these interior battles.

May the Lord lay His hand on all that I do so that it may be in accordance with His holy will; this is always my desire, although my actions may be as imperfect as I myself am.
