I am simply content to find myself always imperfect, and in this I find my joy. Good deeds count as nothing, if done without love.

More quotes by Therese of Lisieux
For one pain endured with joy, we shall love the good God more forever.
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
The country in which I live is not my native country, that lies elsewhere, and it must always be the center of my longings.
Therese of Lisieux
If every tiny flower wanted to be a rose, spring would lose its loveliness.
Therese of Lisieux
Trials help us detach ourselves from the earth they make us look higher than this world.
Therese of Lisieux
i can nourish myself on nothing but truth
Therese of Lisieux
How happy I am to see myself as imperfect and to be in need of God's mercy.
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
Love is nourished only by sacrifices, and the more a soul refuses natural satisfactions, the stronger and more disinterested becomes her tenderness.
Therese of Lisieux
Heaven for me is hidden in a little Host Where Jesus, my Spouse, is veiled for love. I go to that Divine Furnace to draw out life, And there my Sweet Saviour listens to me night and day.
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
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
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
The morrow of this day will be eternity then Jesus will return you a hundred fold the lovely, rightful joys that you are sacrificing for him.
Therese of Lisieux
Why should we defend ourselves when we are misunderstood and misjudged? Let us leave that aside. Let us not say anything. It is so sweet to let others judge us in any way they like. O blessed silence, which gives so much peace to the soul!
Therese of Lisieux
Never stop wanting for your magic
Therese of Lisieux
Remember that nothing is small in the eyes of God. Do all that you do with love.
Therese of Lisieux
I want to give myself totally to Him...I want to live no longer but for Him.
Therese of Lisieux
It is love alone that counts.
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. ... Unable either to say them all or to choose between them, I do as a child would who cannot read - I just say what I want to say to God, quite simply, and he never fails to understand.
