Therese of Lisieux
Go often to Holy Communion. Go very often! This is your one remedy.
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
Our Lord needs from us neither great deeds nor profound thoughts. Neither intelligence nor talents. He cherishes simplicity.
Therese of Lisieux
Remember that nothing is small in the eyes of God. Do all that you do with love.

Therese of Lisieux

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
Jesus, help me to simplify my life by learning what you want me to be and becoming that person.
Therese of Lisieux
She is more Mother than Queen.
Therese of Lisieux
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. In a word, we must produce all the good works that lie within our strength - out of love for God.
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
For one pain endured with joy, we shall love the good God more forever.
Therese of Lisieux
Sufferings gladly borne for others convert more people than sermons.
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.
Therese of Lisieux
The good God would not inspire unattainable desires.
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
