My vocation, at last I have found it my vocation is love.
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!

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.

Therese of Lisieux

Apart from the Office [the daily prayer of the Church] which is a daily joy, I do not have the courage to search through books for beautiful prayers. ...

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
Love is a universe of its own, comprising all time and space.
Therese of Lisieux
When we yield to discouragement it is usually because we give too much thought to the past and to the future.
Therese of Lisieux
The greatest honor God can do a soul is not give it much but to ask much of it.
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
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
A heart given to God loses none of its natural tenderness on the contrary, the more pure and divine it becomes, the more such tenderness increases.
Therese of Lisieux
(On entering Carmel) I came to save souls and especially to pray for priests.
