Let Nothing Disturb You
A famous prayer from Teresa of Ávila that I regularly return to:
Let nothing disturb you,
Let nothing frighten you,
All things are passing away:
God never changes.
Patience obtains all things.
Whoever has God lacks nothing;
God alone suffices.
Thank you for this reminder, Richard. I just learned that my uncle didn't survive his latest heart surgery, so the timing of your post was very meaningful to me. Earlier, the pianist at church had played the Taizé version ("Nada te turbe") during her prelude medley before our morning service and I had sung along quietly as I handed hymnals to the arriving congregants. Surely God is with us.
