“He can do all things, and we can do nothing here below except what He enables us to do. What do we do for You, O Lord, our Maker? We hardly do anything! If God is pleased that we should win everything by doing a mere nothing, let us not be so foolish as to fail to do it.”

— St. Teresa of Avila, The Way of Perfection (via tinycatholic)
