More quotes by Therese of Lisieux
I know now that true charity consists in bearing all our neighbors'defects--not being surprised at their weakness, but edified at their smallest virtues.
Therese of Lisieux
Love is a universe of its own, comprising all time and space.
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
He [Jesus] has no need of our works but only of our love.
Therese of Lisieux
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
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
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
(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
the storm thunders at my heart I find it difficult to believe in the existence of anything except the clouds which limit my horizon.
Therese of Lisieux
Perfection consists in doing His will, in being that which He wants us to be.
Therese of Lisieux
Jesus makes the bitterest mouthful taste sweet.
Therese of Lisieux
It is only love which makes us acceptable to God.
Therese of Lisieux
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
Silence does good to the soul.
Therese of Lisieux
I felt it better to speak to God than about Him.
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
As the sun shines both on the cedar and the smallest flower, so the Divine sun illumines each soul.
Therese of Lisieux
Since the age of three I have refused God nothing.
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
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.
Therese of Lisieux
