The loveliest materpiece of the heart of God is the love of a Mother.
Therese of Lisieux
Image
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
Image
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
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
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.

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
Image
It is love alone that counts.
Therese of Lisieux
Image
For me, prayer is an upward leap of the heart, an untroubled glance towards heaven, a cry of gratitude and love which I utter from the depths of sorrow as well as from the heights of joy.
Therese of Lisieux
Image
(On entering Carmel) I came to save souls and especially to pray for priests.
Therese of Lisieux
Image
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
Image
Go often to Holy Communion. Go very often! This is your one remedy.
Therese of Lisieux
Image
If every tiny flower wanted to be a rose, spring would lose its loveliness.
Therese of Lisieux
Image
i can nourish myself on nothing but truth
Therese of Lisieux
Image
I am very far from practicing what I understand.
Therese of Lisieux
Image
I know now that true charity consists in bearing all our neighbors'defects--not being surprised at their weakness, but edified at their smallest virtues.
