A brief, powerful prayer was found in St. Teresa of Avila’s breviary after her death. Now known as St. Teresa’s Bookmark, this short prayer has become universally beloved as an inspiring petition for peace and serenity.
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.
St. Teresa of Avila, the celebrated Carmelite nun, mystic, and Doctor of the Church, prayed this prayer in the 16th century, but its concise beauty is just as comforting today! Throughout the worry and busy-ness of our everyday lives, let us remind ourselves of God’s steady strength and love with this heavenly bookmark.
