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
He does not call those who are worthy, but those whom He wills.
Therese of Lisieux

Therese of Lisieux
God would turn the world around to find suffering in order to give it to a soul upon whom He has set His Divine gaze with ineffable love.
Therese of Lisieux
Holiness is a disposition of the heart that makes us humble and little in the arms of God, aware of our weakness, and confident - in the most audacious way - in His Fatherly goodness.
Therese of Lisieux
Remember that nothing is small in the eyes of God. Do all that you do with love.
Therese of Lisieux
Above the clouds the sky is always blue.
Therese of Lisieux

When one loves, one does not calculate.
Therese of Lisieux
Jesus, help me to simplify my life by learning what you want me to be and becoming that person.
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
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
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
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
He [Jesus] has no need of our works but only of our love.
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
The great majority of men use their own short-sighted ideas as a yardstick for measuring the divine omnipotence.
Therese of Lisieux
Let us rise above the things that pass away. Up above, the air is so pure. Jesus can hide Himself but we will find Him there.
