In that first 'fusion' with Jesus (holy communion), it was my Heavenly Mother again who accompanied me to the altar for it was she herself who placed her Jesus into my soul.

More quotes by Therese of Lisieux
I am very far from practicing what I understand.
Therese of Lisieux
The good God would not inspire unattainable desires.
Therese of Lisieux
(Whispered to a novice while standing in front of the convent library) Oh! I would have been sorry to have read all those books...If I had read them, I would have broken my head, and I would have wasted precious time that I could have employed very simply in loving God.
Therese of Lisieux
A word or a smile is often enough to put fresh life in a despondent soul.
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
Trials help us detach ourselves from the earth they make us look higher than this world.
Therese of Lisieux
It has a supernatural grandeur which expands the soul and unites it with God. I say an Our Father or a Hail Mary when I feel so spiritually barren that I cannot summon up a single worth while thought. These two prayers fill me with rapture and feed and satisfy my soul.
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
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
nobody is a good judge in his own cause!
Therese of Lisieux
You cannot be half a saint you must be a whole saint or no saint at all.
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 guest of our soul knows our misery He comes to find an empty tent within us - that is all He asks.
Therese of Lisieux
I want to give myself totally to Him...I want to live no longer but for Him.
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
(On entering Carmel) I came to save souls and especially to pray for priests.
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
It is only love which makes us acceptable to God.
Therese of Lisieux
The science of loving, yes, that's the only kind of science I want I'd barter away everything I possess to win it.
Therese of Lisieux
My whole strength lies in prayer and sacrifice, these are my invincible arms they can move hearts far better than words, I know it by experience.
Therese of Lisieux
