Nada te Turbe

A beautiful prayer by St. Teresa of Avila.

Nada te turbe;
nada te espante;
todo se pasa;
Dios no se muda,
la pacïencia
todo lo alcanza.
Quien a Dios tiene,
nada le falta.
Solo Dios basta.

English Translation by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow:

Let nothing disturb thee,
Nothing affright thee
All things are passing;
God never changeth;
Patient endurance
Attaineth to all things;
Who God possesseth
In nothing is wanting;
Alone God sufficeth.

But I would like to use the highlighted lines in a more modern translation, offered by Fr. Jonathan Caballero, OAR in the mass last Sunday.

He who has God in him,
does not lack anything.
