“It is, however, a very great thing indeed to be able to live without either divine or human comforting and for the honor of God willingly to endure this exile of heart, not to seek oneself in anything, and to think nothing of one’s own merit.”

Blessed Teresa. This is exactly what the world does not understand.

**Blessed Teresa. This is exactly what the world does not understand.**

Yes, so right. The title sort of took me by surprise until I started reading and realized the depth to which it went.

I would much rather live with less comfort in these days than to be cast into hell and have no comfort for eternity.
