SAINT TERESA'S BOOK-MARK
LINES WRITTEN IN HER BREVIARY
Let nothing disturb thee,
Nothing affright thee;
All things are passing;
God never changeth;
Patient endurance
Attaineth to all things;
Who God possesseth
In nothing is wanting;
Alone God sufficeth.
Schez. de Cepeda Dávila y Ahumada.
Santa Teresa de Jesús
