"The things of the soul must always be considered as plentiful, spacious and large; to do so is not an exaggeration. The soul is capable of much more than we can imagine, and the sun that is in this royal chamber shines in all parts. Whoever does not grow, shrinks."

- Teresa of Ávila, quoted from her The Interior Castle, featured in this week's Take and Read series on NCRonline.org

March 28 was the 501st anniversary of the birth of St. Teresa of  Ávila, who was canonized in 1622; her feast day is October 15.
