[St. Teresa] was on the point of being carried away [by water] when our Lord sustained her.

Oh, my Lord!” she exclaimed, with her usual loving familiarity, “when wilt Thou cease from scattering obstacles in our path?

Do not complain, daughter,” the Divine Master answered, “for it is ever thus that I treat My friends.

Ah, Lord, it is also on that account that Thou hast so few!” was her reply.

@fatherhorton “They didn’t say it”
