(St. Teresa of Avila statue in the Cathedral of Avila)

St. Teresa offers us encouragement, in the middle of our busy days, that we can still communicate easily with Our Lord:

"In the midst of our occupations, we ought to withdraw into the interior of our souls, even though it be but for an instant, by reminding ourselves of Him who keeps us company. This practice is extremely profitable. In brief, we ought to accustom ourselves to appreciate this truth, that it is not necessary to speak aloud to Him, because His Majesty will make us feel His presence within us. In this way, we shall be able to recite our vocal prayers not only in peace, but without weariness as well."
