"When St. Teresa of Availa saw a friend perform certain rigorous acts of penance, she felt a great desire to imitate her. Her confessor forbade her to do this. When she was tempted to disobey him, God told her, 'My daughter, you are on a good and safe road. Do you look at the penance she does? I put a greater value on obedience!"
