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.

More quotes by Therese of Lisieux
Even now I know it: yes, all my hopes will be fulfilled... yes... the Lord will work wonders for me which will surpass infinitely my immeasurable desires.
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
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
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
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.
Therese of Lisieux
Love is a universe of its own, comprising all time and space.
Therese of Lisieux
I prefer to be accused unjustly, for then I have nothing to reproach myself with, and joyfully offer this to the good Lord. Then I humble myself at the thought that I am indeed capable of doing the thing of which I have been accused.
Therese of Lisieux
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
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
(Her last words) Oh! I love Him! My God, I love You!
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
She is more Mother than Queen.
Therese of Lisieux
I am very far from practicing what I understand.
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
Whose hands are God's hands, but our hands?
Therese of Lisieux
As the sun shines both on the cedar and the smallest flower, so the Divine sun illumines each soul.
Therese of Lisieux
Never stop wanting for your magic
Therese of Lisieux
Since the age of three I have refused God nothing.
Therese of Lisieux
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.
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.
