Episode 75: "Can there be an evil greater than that of being ill at ease in our own house? What hope can we have of finding rest outside ourselves if we cannot be at rest within? . . . [I]f we don't obtain and have peace in our own house we'll not find it outside. Let this war be ended. Through the blood He shed for us I ask those who have not begun to enter within themselves to do so; and those who have begun, not to let the war make them turn back. . . Let them trust in the mercy of God and not at all in themselves . . . And they shall enjoy many more blessings than one can desire—blessings even in this life, I mean." - St. Teresa of Avila, The Interior Castle (The Second Dwelling Places, Ch. 1, 9)
