If you are willing to bear serenely the trial of being displeasing to yourself, then you will be for Jesus a pleasant place of shelter.
Therese of Lisieux
Image
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
Image
We must do everything we are obliged to do give without reckoning, practice virtue whenever opportunity offers, constantly overcome ourselves, prove our love by all the little acts of tenderness and consideration we can muster. In a word, we must produce all the good works that lie within our strength - out of love for God.
Therese of Lisieux

The guest of our soul knows our misery He comes to find an empty tent within us - that is all He asks.
Therese of Lisieux
Image
Sufferings gladly borne for others convert more people than sermons.
Therese of Lisieux
Image
I am simply content to find myself always imperfect, and in this I find my joy. Good deeds count as nothing, if done without love.
Therese of Lisieux
Image
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
Image
Trying to do good to people without God's help is no easier than making the sun shine at midnight. You discover that you've got to abandon all your own preferences, your own bright ideas, and guide souls along the road our Lord has marked out for them. You mustn't coerce them into some path of your own choosing.
Therese of Lisieux
Image
Do not fear to tell Jesus that you love Him even without feeling it. That is the way to force Jesus to help you, to carry you like a little child too feeble to walk.
Therese of Lisieux
Image
True charity consists in putting up with all one's neighbors fault's never being surprised by his weakness, and being inspired by the least of his virtues.
Therese of Lisieux
Image
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
Image
I want to give myself totally to Him...I want to live no longer but for Him.
Therese of Lisieux
