i can nourish myself on nothing but truth
Therese of Lisieux
You heard me, only Friend whom I love. To ravish my heart, you became man. You shed your blood, what a supreme mystery!... And you still live for me on the Altar. If I cannot see the brilliance of your Face Or hear your sweet voice, O my God, I can live by your grace, I can rest on your Sacred Heart!
Therese of Lisieux
If I am despised by the world, If it considers me as nothing, A divine peace flood me. For I have the Host as my support. When I draw near the ciborium, All my sighs are heard... To be nothing is my glory. I am the atom of Jesus.
Therese of Lisieux
Whose hands are God's hands, but our hands?
Therese of Lisieux
My whole strength lies in prayer and sacrifice, these are my invincible arms they can move hearts far better than words, I know it by experience.
Therese of Lisieux
God has made me desire always what he most wants to give me.
Therese of Lisieux
For one pain endured with joy, we shall love the good God more forever.
Therese of Lisieux
Even now I know it: yes, all my hopes will be fulfilled... yes... the Lord will work wonders for me which will surpass infinitely my immeasurable desires.
Therese of Lisieux
It has a supernatural grandeur which expands the soul and unites it with God. I say an Our Father or a Hail Mary when I feel so spiritually barren that I cannot summon up a single worth while thought. These two prayers fill me with rapture and feed and satisfy my soul.
Therese of Lisieux
O Jesus! on this day, you have fulfilled all my desires. From now on, near the Eucharist, I shall be able To sacrifice myself in silence, to wait for Heaven in peace. Keeping myself open to the rays of the Divine Host, In this furnace of love, I shall be consumed, And like a seraphim, Lord, I shall love You.
Therese of Lisieux
Let us go forward in peace, our eyes upon heaven, the only one goal of our labors.
Therese of Lisieux
Jesus needs neither books nor Doctors of Divinity in order to instruct souls He, the Doctor of Doctors, He teaches without noise of words.
Therese of Lisieux
He does not call those who are worthy, but those whom He wills.
Therese of Lisieux
I would prefer a thousand times to receive reproofs than to give them to others.
Therese of Lisieux
(Whispered to a novice while standing in front of the convent library) Oh! I would have been sorry to have read all those books...If I had read them, I would have broken my head, and I would have wasted precious time that I could have employed very simply in loving God.
Therese of Lisieux
Our Lord needs from us neither great deeds nor profound thoughts. Neither intelligence nor talents. He cherishes simplicity.
Therese of Lisieux
Receive Communion often, very often...there you have the sole remedy, if you want to be cured. Jesus has not put this attraction in your heart for nothing.
Therese of Lisieux
Heaven for me is hidden in a little Host Where Jesus, my Spouse, is veiled for love. I go to that Divine Furnace to draw out life, And there my Sweet Saviour listens to me night and day.
Therese of Lisieux
How I loved the feasts!.... I especially loved the processions in honor of the Blessed Sacrament. What a joy it was for me to throw flowers beneath the feet of God!... I was never so happy as when I saw my roses touch the sacred Monstrance.
Therese of Lisieux
A word or a smile is often enough to put fresh life in a despondent soul.
Therese of Lisieux
