A TLIO Quote

Prayer is an act of love, words are not needed. Even if sickness distracts thoughts, all that is needed is the will to love.

St. Teresa of Avila
The Way of Perfection

What a great thought. I love "the will to love." It's an amazing contrast to the "Will to power."

I didn't know there were any comments left here until now. I'm so glad that this quote resonated with others as it did me. I keep running across "that will to love" in other places - I love how God gets his point across by repeating things for me. :)
