Quote from St. Teresa of Avila


As someone who falls regularly, I take some comfort in this quote. I have often found that my spiritual failures have served some purpose in the long run (made me more understanding, less judgmental, etc). I still wish the failures didn't have to happen, though.

"It constantly happens that the Lord permits a soul to fall so that it may grow humbler. When it is honest, and realizes what it has done, and returns, it makes ever-increasing progress in our Lord's service." - St. Teresa of Avila
