"Do not think I am sitting here to pass the time away telling you that religious life is poetry. It is the roughest kind of prose."
Justina Reilly, IHM (b. 1848)

compelling quotes
Give me, if you will, prayer;
— Saint Teresa of Avila, "What Do You Want of Me?" in Collected Works, Vol. 3
Or let me know dryness,
An abundance of devotion,
Or if not, then barrenness.
In you alone, Sovereign Majesty,
I find my peace,
What do you want of me?
… Yours I am, for You I was born:
What do you want of me?
