A classic Catholic prayer that reaches people across religious traditions.
?The Prayer of St. Teresa of Avila?
Let nothing disturb you, let nothing frighten you,
All things are passing: God never changes.
Patience obtains all things.
Nothing is lacking to those who possesses God;
God alone suffices.
This examination of the famous prayer of St. Teresa of Avila shows it to be a path for cultivating a peaceful heart for people of all faiths and backgrounds. Author Michael Hoffner writes with an interspiritual approach, with the perspective of a Christian and follower of Jesus who is also a practitioner in the Buddhist Plum Village Tradition and student of Thich Nhat Hanh, and experienced in recovery. With two decades of recovery from addiction, Hoffner also shares his personal story of healing and transformation. We can no longer think of world peace and inner peace as two separate paths. In times such as these, the need to commit ourselves to deep and lasting peace (personally and collectively) is our only hope.
