“Let nothing disturb you. Let nothing frighten you. Everything passes away except God.”
“Let nothing disturb thee;
Let nothing dismay thee:
All things pass;
God never changes.”
"Poem IX", in Complete Works St. Teresa of Avila (1963) edited by E. Allison Peers, Vol. 3, p. 288
Context: Let nothing disturb thee;
Let nothing dismay thee:
All things pass;
God never changes.
Patience attains
All that it strives for.
He who has God
Finds he lacks nothing:
God alone suffices.
