“Remember that you have only one soul; that you have only one death to die; that you have only one life, which is short and has to be lived by you alone; and that there is only one glory, which is eternal. If you do this, there will be many things about which you care nothing.”
Teresa of Avila (1515-1582), in Common Prayer: A Liturgy for Ordinary Radicals (Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 2010) 481.
