More quotes by 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
(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
Silence does good to the soul.
Therese of Lisieux
If every tiny flower wanted to be a rose, spring would lose its loveliness.
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
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
What offends Him and what wounds His Heart is the lack of confidence...Your heart is made to love Jesus, to love Him passionately...We have only the short moments of our life to love Jesus!
Therese of Lisieux
I prefer the monotony of obscure sacrifice to all ecstasies. To pick up a pin for love can convert a soul.
Therese of Lisieux
For me, prayer is an upward leap of the heart, an untroubled glance towards heaven, a cry of gratitude and love which I utter from the depths of sorrow as well as from the heights of joy.
Therese of Lisieux
I would prefer a thousand times to receive reproofs than to give them to others.
Therese of Lisieux
The loveliest materpiece of the heart of God is the love of a Mother.
Therese of Lisieux
He does not call those who are worthy, but those whom He wills.
Therese of Lisieux
God has made me desire always what he most wants to give me.
Therese of Lisieux
Love is a universe of its own, comprising all time and space.
Therese of Lisieux
Why should we defend ourselves when we are misunderstood and misjudged? Let us leave that aside. Let us not say anything. It is so sweet to let others judge us in any way they like. O blessed silence, which gives so much peace to the soul!
Therese of Lisieux
My soul experienced a peace so sweet, so deep, it would be impossible to express it.
Therese of Lisieux
It is love alone that counts.
Therese of Lisieux
Love proves itself by deeds, so how am I to show my love? Great deeds are forbidden me. The only way I can prove my love is by scattering flowers and these flowers are every little sacrifice, every glance and word, and the doing of the least actions for love.
Therese of Lisieux
Since the age of three I have refused God nothing.
Therese of Lisieux
