More quotes by Therese of Lisieux
Trying to do good to people without God's help is no easier than making the sun shine at midnight.

You mustn't coerce them into some path of your own choosing.
Therese of Lisieux

And it is the Lord, it is Jesus, Who is my judge. Therefore I will try always to think leniently of others, that He may judge me leniently, or rather not at all, since He says: Judge not, and ye shall not be judged.
Therese of Lisieux
My soul experienced a peace so sweet, so deep, it would be impossible to express it.

When we yield to discouragement it is usually because we give too much thought to the past and to the future.
Therese of Lisieux
Apart from the Office [the daily prayer of the Church] which is a daily joy, I do not have the courage to search through books for beautiful prayers. ... Unable either to say them all or to choose between them, I do as a child would who cannot read - I just say what I want to say to God, quite simply, and he never fails to understand.
Therese of Lisieux
Time is but a shadow, a dream already God sees us in glory and takes joy in our eternal beatitude. How this thought helps my soul! I understand then why He lets us suffer.
