The good God would not inspire unattainable desires.

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
Image
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
Image
You heard me, only Friend whom I love. To ravish my heart, you became man. You shed your blood, what a supreme mystery!... And you still live for me on the Altar. If I cannot see the brilliance of your Face Or hear your sweet voice, O my God, I can live by your grace, I can rest on your Sacred Heart!

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.
Therese of Lisieux
Image
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.
Therese of Lisieux

You cannot be half a saint you must be a whole saint or no saint at all.
Therese of Lisieux
Image
Miss no single opportunity of making some small sacrifice, here by a smiling look, there by a kindly word always doing the smallest right and doing it all for love.
Therese of Lisieux
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I prefer the monotony of obscure sacrifice to all ecstasies. To pick up a pin for love can convert a soul.
Therese of Lisieux
Image
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

He [Jesus] has no need of our works but only of our love.

Remember that nothing is small in the eyes of God. Do all that you do with love.
