More quotes by Therese of Lisieux
If I did not simply live from one moment to another, it would be impossible for me to be patient, but I only look at the present, I forget the past, and I take good care not to forestall the future.
Therese of Lisieux
(Her last words) Oh! I love Him! My God, I love You!
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
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
I want to give myself totally to Him...I want to live no longer but for Him.
Therese of Lisieux

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
God has made me desire always what he most wants to give me.
Therese of Lisieux
Perfect love means putting up with other peoples shortcomings, feeling no surprise at their weaknesses, finding encouragement even in the slightest evidence of good qualities in them.
Therese of Lisieux
The great majority of men use their own short-sighted ideas as a yardstick for measuring the divine omnipotence.
Therese of Lisieux
In trial or difficulty I have recourse to Mother Mary, whose glance alone is enough to dissipate every fear.
Therese of Lisieux
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
Love is nourished only by sacrifices, and the more a soul refuses natural satisfactions, the stronger and more disinterested becomes her tenderness.
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
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
Never stop wanting for your magic
Therese of Lisieux
I felt it better to speak to God than about Him.
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.
