Therese of Lisieux

Therese of Lisieux

Therese of Lisieux
For me, prayer means launching out of the heart towards God it means lifting up one's eyes, quite simply, to heaven, a cry of grateful love, from the crest of joy or the trough of despair it's a vast, supernatural force which opens out my heart, and binds me close to Jesus.
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
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
The loveliest materpiece of the heart of God is the love of a Mother.
