Prayer: Teresa of Avila – discovering Jesus as most truly a friend

O, my Lord, how you are my true friend… Oh, who will cry out for you, to tell everyone how faithful you are to your friends! All things fail; you, Lord of all, never fail. O my God, who has the understanding, the learning and the new words with which to extol your works as my soul understands them? All fails me… but if you will not abandon me, I will not fail you.
