to say nothing through fear that taking the matter up would be yielding to temptation would itself be to yield to temptation. - Teresa of Ávila

True spirituality breaks down the walls of our souls and lets in not just heaven, but the whole world.

"Do you suppose, daughters, that He is alone when He comes to us? Do you not see that His most holy Son says: "Who art in the Heavens"? Surely such a King would not be abandoned by His courtiers. They stay with Him and pray to Him on our behalf and for our welfare, for they are full of charity."

Humility cannot exist without love, and love cannot exist without humility. It is impossible for these virtues to exist except where there is great detachment from all created things.
