More quotes by Therese of Lisieux
(On entering Carmel) I came to save souls and especially to pray for priests.
Therese of Lisieux
Time is but a shadow, a dream already God sees us in glory and takes joy in our eternal beatitude. How this thought helps my soul! I understand then why He lets us suffer.
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
And it is the Lord, it is Jesus, Who is my judge. Therefore I will try always to think leniently of others, that He may judge me leniently, or rather not at all, since He says: Judge not, and ye shall not be judged.
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
Receive Communion often, very often...there you have the sole remedy, if you want to be cured. Jesus has not put this attraction in your heart for nothing.
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. ... Unable either to say them all or to choose between them, I do as a child would who cannot read - I just say what I want to say to God, quite simply, and he never fails to understand.
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
I would prefer a thousand times to receive reproofs than to give them to others.
Therese of Lisieux
the storm thunders at my heart I find it difficult to believe in the existence of anything except the clouds which limit my horizon.
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
I want to give myself totally to Him...I want to live no longer but for Him.
Therese of Lisieux
For one pain endured with joy, we shall love the good God more forever.
Therese of Lisieux
The country in which I live is not my native country, that lies elsewhere, and it must always be the center of my longings.
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
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
Whose hands are God's hands, but our hands?
Therese of Lisieux
Above the clouds the sky is always blue.
Therese of Lisieux
The great majority of men use their own short-sighted ideas as a yardstick for measuring the divine omnipotence.
Therese of Lisieux
A word or a smile is often enough to put fresh life in a despondent soul.
Therese of Lisieux
