About This Quote
The Christian in the one whose imagination should fly beyond the stars. These are the words of St. Teresa of Avila, the 16th-century Spanish mystic who died at age 43. Her spiritual quest was inspired by St.
John of the Cross , a 16th-century Spanish mystic who also died at age 43. St. Teresa's saying is profound because it speaks to what rare individuals can accomplish with God's help and His grace.
