Superior General’s Message

Rev. Sr. Molly Attully, CCR

Let Nothing Affright Thee, Let Nothing Trouble Thee



I n today’s fast-moving world, filled with uncertainty, distractions, and endless challenges, the timeless words of St. Teresa of Avila, "Let nothing affright thee, let nothing trouble thee," speak to us more deeply than ever. These powerful words encourage us to pause, breathe, and find peace amidst life’s many storms. They call us to trust in God’s ever-present love, reminding us that our fears, though overwhelming at times, are fleeting when we place them in His infinite care and mercy.

Letting Go of Fear: "Let nothing affright thee, let nothing trouble thee" is a profound call to release fear from our hearts. Fear, if allowed to take root, can become a barrier between us and the joy God offers. It can paralyze us, cloud our judgment, and make us doubt our worth. St. Teresa’s wisdom encourages us to let go of these fears by placing them in God’s hands. In doing so, we open ourselves to His healing grace, which brings true peace and freedom.

Living with a Heart of Trust: To live by St. Teresa's message is to cultivate a heart that trusts in God’s love, no matter what life throws our way. It means surrendering daily to His guidance and care and embracing the journey of faith with confidence. Even in a world driven by uncertainty and fear, her words remind us of a beautiful truth: "God alone suffices."

When we hold onto this truth, we find that nothing can truly affright or trouble us, for we are anchored in the boundless love of God.
