More quotes by Therese of Lisieux
i can nourish myself on nothing but truth
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
O Jesus! on this day, you have fulfilled all my desires. From now on, near the Eucharist, I shall be able To sacrifice myself in silence, to wait for Heaven in peace. Keeping myself open to the rays of the Divine Host, In this furnace of love, I shall be consumed, And like a seraphim, Lord, I shall love You.
Therese of Lisieux

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
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
My soul experienced a peace so sweet, so deep, it would be impossible to express it.
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.
Therese of Lisieux
The loveliest materpiece of the heart of God is the love of a Mother.
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
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
I prefer the monotony of obscure sacrifice to all ecstasies. To pick up a pin for love can convert a soul.
Therese of Lisieux
In Heaven the good God will do all I wish, because I have never done my own will upon earth.
Therese of Lisieux
It is love alone that counts.
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
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.
