More quotes by Therese of Lisieux
O Jesus! on this day, you have fulfilled all my desires. From now on, near the Eucharist, I shall be able To sacrifice myself in silence, to wait for Heaven in peace. Keeping myself open to the rays of the Divine Host, In this furnace of love, I shall be consumed, And like a seraphim, Lord, I shall love You.
Therese of Lisieux
How I loved the feasts!.... I especially loved the processions in honor of the Blessed Sacrament. What a joy it was for me to throw flowers beneath the feet of God!... I was never so happy as when I saw my roses touch the sacred Monstrance.
Therese of Lisieux
You heard me, only Friend whom I love. To ravish my heart, you became man. You shed your blood, what a supreme mystery!... And you still live for me on the Altar. If I cannot see the brilliance of your Face Or hear your sweet voice, O my God, I can live by your grace, I can rest on your Sacred Heart!
Therese of Lisieux

Therese of Lisieux
nobody is a good judge in his own cause!
Therese of Lisieux
Let us go forward in peace, our eyes upon heaven, the only one goal of our labors.
Therese of Lisieux
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
Whose hands are God's hands, but our hands?
Therese of Lisieux
Since the age of three I have refused God nothing.
Therese of Lisieux
Miss no single opportunity of making some small sacrifice, here by a smiling look, there by a kindly word always doing the smallest right and doing it all for love.
Therese of Lisieux
The science of loving, yes, that's the only kind of science I want I'd barter away everything I possess to win it.
Therese of Lisieux
Never stop wanting for your magic
Therese of Lisieux
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
He [Jesus] has no need of our works but only of our love.
