Quote

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.

Image
If I did not simply live from one moment to another, it would be impossible for me to be patient, but I only look at the present, I forget the past, and I take good care not to forestall the future.
Therese of Lisieux
Image
Heaven for me is hidden in a little Host Where Jesus, my Spouse, is veiled for love. I go to that Divine Furnace to draw out life, And there my Sweet Saviour listens to me night and day.
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
Holiness is a disposition of the heart that makes us humble and little in the arms of God, aware of our weakness, and confident - in the most audacious way - in His Fatherly goodness.
Therese of Lisieux
Image
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
Image
the storm thunders at my heart I find it difficult to believe in the existence of anything except the clouds which limit my horizon.

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
Image
What a joy to remember that she is our Mother! Since she loves us and knows our weakness, what have we to fear?
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
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
Image
Whose hands are God's hands, but our hands?
Therese of Lisieux
Image
Perfection consists in doing His will, in being that which He wants us to be.
Therese of Lisieux
Image
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
Image
Love is a universe of its own, comprising all time and space.
Therese of Lisieux
Image
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.

(Her last words) Oh! I love Him! My God, I love You!

She is more Mother than Queen.
