Read St Teresa of Avila’s “Seek Yourself In Me” poem slowly allowing God into your heart:
“It was by love that you were made,
Lovely and beautiful to be.
So, though it’s true that you have strayed,
Upon my heart you are portrayed –
Soul, seek yourself in me.
In you, dear Soul, I am confined.
You are my dwelling and my home.
And, even if one day I find
Closed-fast the portals of your mind,
I’ll beg for entrance when I come.
O Search for me not far away
For, if you would attain to me,
You only need my name to say
And I am there without delay.
Soul, seek yourself in me.”
The Lord seeks you day and night, allow God total access to your heart.
May God Be Praised.
