I am grateful for the practical spiritual wherewithal of Saint Teresa of Avila. Have you read some of her works? This most un-well-read priest in the world, even I have read some things of hers. She’s great.
For anyone who has studied in Rome, this is a most fateful day, as it is the first day of classes for the academic year, at least it was back in the day, for decades. A good start.
ARISE! LET US BE GOING! 
I’ve read her autobiography, and started “The Interior Castle”, which it would do me well to finish reading.
I see that Youtube has notice that they have”unexpectedly closed down the connection” to the videos.
Catherine, if you mean Father’s videos above, try again as they are available now – I just watched them.
Thank you Aussie Mum. You are right. It seems to be working fine now.
Catherine
I’m sorry to say I haven’t read any of St Teresa of Avila’s works, only biographical snippets and her bookmark which states
Let nothing disturb you,
Let nothing frighten you,
All things are passing;
God only is changeless.
Patience gains all things.
Who has God wants nothing.
God alone suffices.
She lived in difficult times for the Church (born 2 years before Luther kicked off the Protestant Reformation). Our times are also difficult and I find the advice on her bookmark calming.
Saint Teresa (along with Padre Pio) and other saints (of a spiritual nature) are inspirations for me.
The first Saint I heard about (as a young child) was St Francis of Assisi and his connection with animals. His connection to God.
These Saints and others give me comfort and lead me to where I need to be.
Here with the body of St Mathew is one of the most peaceful and calming places I have ever been.
