Jonah and Saint Teresa of Avila
Luke 11:29-32
From the Navarre Bible commentary,
We know that “The Ninevites did penance
because they acknowledged the prophet
Jonah and accepted his message.
Jesus is greater than Jonah…Christ’s life
And preaching are a call to conversion.”
From the Magnificat, we know that
Saint Teresa of Avila advised,
“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.” This is holy advice.
My sister Anne’s middle name is Terese.
