Teresa of Avila Quotes About Good Works

Quotes about: Good Works

• While the soul is in mortal sin, nothing can profit it; none of its good works merit an eternal reward, since they do not proceed from God as their first principle, and by Him alone is our virtue real virtue.

• That is how His Majesty [the Lord] rewards our good works---I mean, by predisposing us to perform better ones.

  Teresa of Avila

  Mean, Saint, Rewards

• My good works, however wretched and imperfect, have been made better and perfected by Him Who is my Lord: He has rendered them meritorious. As to my evil deeds and my sins, He hid them at once. The eyes of those who saw them, He made even blind; and He has blotted them out of their memory.
