(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.

Jesus makes the bitterest mouthful taste sweet.
Therese of Lisieux

If I am despised by the world, If it considers me as nothing, A divine peace flood me. For I have the Host as my support. When I draw near the ciborium, All my sighs are heard... To be nothing is my glory. I am the atom of Jesus.
Therese of Lisieux
Image
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.
