More quotes by Therese of Lisieux
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
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
My vocation, at last I have found it my vocation is love.
Therese of Lisieux
Trials help us detach ourselves from the earth they make us look higher than this world.
Therese of Lisieux
Remember that nothing is small in the eyes of God. Do all that you do with love.
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
I felt it better to speak to God than about Him.
Therese of Lisieux
What offends Him and what wounds His Heart is the lack of confidence...Your heart is made to love Jesus, to love Him passionately...We have only the short moments of our life to love Jesus!
Therese of Lisieux
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
I prefer the monotony of obscure sacrifice to all ecstasies. To pick up a pin for love can convert a soul.
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
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
You cannot be half a saint you must be a whole saint or no saint at all.
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
I want to give myself totally to Him...I want to live no longer but for Him.
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
If every tiny flower wanted to be a rose, spring would lose its loveliness.
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
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
The world's thy ship and not thy home.
Therese of Lisieux
