Nada Te Turbe

Nada Te Turbe

(Let Nothing Disturb You)

 

The great Spanish Carmelite nun, mystic, and Doctor of the Church, St. Teresa of Avila, is most famous for her classic spiritual writings, The Interior Castle and The Way of Perfection. 

She also wrote the famous poem – Nada Te Turbe – Let Nothing Disturb You!

Nada te turbe,

nada te espante

todo se pasa,

Dios no se muda,

la paciencia

todo lo alcanza,

quien a Dios tiene

nada le falta

solo Dios basta.

 

This means:

Let nothing disturb you,

Let nothing frighten you,

All things pass away:

God never changes.

Patience obtains all things.

He who has God

Finds he lacks nothing;

God alone suffices.
