St. Teresa
of Avila
Jesus said,
"If you remain in Me and My words
remain in you , you may ask what you
will and you shall get it. It is to
the glory of the Father that you should
bear much fruit."
John
15:7-8
If you remain in Me and my words
remain in you, you cannot ask anything
which is contrary to the will of
the Father, for our Holy Spirit
will guide you. But first the heart
and mind must be freed from all
that is contrary to the progressive
law of love which is the will of
the Father. Seek above all things
that singleness of purpose which
will make all things plain and bring
about all that the Father wills.
And I shall become the light which
illumines all things, the power
which enables and the perfects .
For as I glorified the Father in
My earthly life by obedience to
His loving purpose so do I glorify
Him in progressing the life and
work and soul of all who give themselves
to his will and purpose.
Make your home in Me as I make
Mine in you. As a branch cannot
bear fruit of itself but must remain
part of the vine, neither can you
unless you remain in Me. Without
me you can do nothing.
But all who remain in me, alert
to the Father's will, illuminated
by Our Holy Spirit, accomplish all
that is required of them, glorify
the Father and become complete and
fulfilled members of the Kingdom
of light.
