Well Said: One last thing from St. Teresa

This excerpt from a little daily wisdom, again has that pithy humor we have come to expect from St. Teresa. Again, we think of the Spanish Inquisition and see how understated the prayer is, but also what dire necessity is behind it.
O my Lord, you seem determined to save me. I pray this may happen.

But since you have granted me so many favors, doesn't it seem reasonable that it would be a good thing (not for my benefit, but for your honor) if the inn where you continually dwell did not get so dirty?
