One of St. Teresa of Avila’s most moving prayers echoes
this past Sunday’s psalm in its recognition that trust in God can get us
through the most difficult times:
Let nothing trouble you.
Let nothing scare you.
All is fleeting.
God alone is unchanging.
Patience.
Everything obtains.
He who possesses God
Wants for nothing.
God alone suffices.
St. Teresa’s words have been put to music by the Catholic
composer David Haas. To hear this beautiful prayer song, click on the following
link, “God Alone is Enough,” scroll down to MP3, and click on the small
Microphone icon to the right of center of the page. The song is also available on David Haas’s
“God is Here” CD.
