More quotes by Therese of Lisieux

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

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
the storm thunders at my heart I find it difficult to believe in the existence of anything except the clouds which limit my horizon.
Therese of Lisieux
Jesus needs neither books nor Doctors of Divinity in order to instruct souls He, the Doctor of Doctors, He teaches without noise of words.
Therese of Lisieux
Do not fear to tell Jesus that you love Him even without feeling it. That is the way to force Jesus to help you, to carry you like a little child too feeble to walk.
Therese of Lisieux
She is more Mother than Queen.
Therese of Lisieux
(On entering Carmel) I came to save souls and especially to pray for priests.
Therese of Lisieux
He [Jesus] has no need of our works but only of our love.
Therese of Lisieux
Frequently, only silence can express my prayer.
