Quote of the day, 9 March: St. Teresa of Avila

This is a matter, Sisters, that we should reflect upon very much: that something so serious and important, as that our Lord forgive us our faults, which deserve eternal fire, be done by means of something so lowly as our forgiving others.

Saint Teresa of Avila
Way of Perfection, 36.2
