Saint Teresa of Avila – Christine Valters Paintner 

“St. Teresa of Avila, the great Carmelite mystic, said to the sisters of her community: ‘The Lord walks among the pots and pans.’ We make artificial divisions between sacred and secular, between what is worthy of our awe and gratitude and what is not.”
