Instead of Wisdom, “Ready Cash Is the Only Thing We Understand” – St. Teresa of Avila

“You see, the gift our Lord intends for us may be by far the best, but if it is not what we wanted we are quite capable of flinging it back in his face. That is the kind of people we are;  ready cash is the only wealth we understand:”  Office of Readings Wednesday of the 13^th Week in Ordinary Time.
