More quotes by 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
As the sun shines both on the cedar and the smallest flower, so the Divine sun illumines each soul.
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
Receive Communion often, very often...there you have the sole remedy, if you want to be cured. Jesus has not put this attraction in your heart for nothing.
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
You cannot be half a saint you must be a whole saint or no saint at all.
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
Love proves itself by deeds, so how am I to show my love? Great deeds are forbidden me. The only way I can prove my love is by scattering flowers and these flowers are every little sacrifice, every glance and word, and the doing of the least actions for love.
Therese of Lisieux
He has created the poor savage with no guide but natural law, and it is to their hearts that He deigns to stoop. They are His wild flowers whose homeliness delights Him.
Therese of Lisieux
Perfect love means putting up with other peoples shortcomings, feeling no surprise at their weaknesses, finding encouragement even in the slightest evidence of good qualities in them.
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
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 guest of our soul knows our misery He comes to find an empty tent within us - that is all He asks.
Therese of Lisieux
By our little acts of charity practiced in the shade we convert souls far away, we help missionaries, we win for them abundant alms and by that means build actual dwellings spiritual and material for our Eucharistic Lord.
Therese of Lisieux
True charity consists in putting up with all one's neighbors fault's never being surprised by his weakness, and being inspired by the least of his virtues.
Therese of Lisieux
In Heaven the good God will do all I wish, because I have never done my own will upon earth.
Therese of Lisieux
In trial or difficulty I have recourse to Mother Mary, whose glance alone is enough to dissipate every fear.
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
If every tiny flower wanted to be a rose, spring would lose its loveliness.
Therese of Lisieux
Look at Him while He is looking at you.
