Therese of Lisieux
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. ...

Therese of Lisieux
(On entering Carmel) I came to save souls and especially to pray for priests.

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!
