"There is no good merchant or good laborer, or soldier, or scholar who does not take care, and watch, and employ solicitude and undertake great trials, to increase his house, his clothing, his
reputation, and all his property. If such men do this, all the more is it demanded of those who serve God in acquiring property to build churches and monasteries and to accumulate all they can for
the service of souls and the glory of the divine Majesty." Statement of Carmelite General Fr. Rubeo allowing St. Teresa of Jesus to found new monasteries.
