My spouse
I do not know the future; yet I can confidently say that my Spouse is at the door. -St. Therese of Lisieux
Imperfect and in need
How happy I am to see myself imperfect and to be in need of God’s mercy.
-St. Therese of Lisieux
Divinely illuminated
We often think we receive graces and are divinely illuminated by means of brilliant candles. But from whence comes their light? From prayers, perhaps, of some humble, hidden soul, whose inward shining is not apparent to human eyes. -St. Therese of Lisieux
I am a child
I am a child of the Church. I do not ask for riches or glory, not even for the glory of heaven. -St. Therese of Lisieux
Remain a Child before God
To remain a child before God means to recognize our nothingness, to expect everything from God. It is not to become discouraged over our failings, for children fall often, but they are too little to hurt themselves very much. -St. Therese of Lisieux
Toward the eternal shore
I made a resolution never to wander far away from the glance of Jesus in order to travel peacefully toward the eternal shore! -St. Therese of Lisieux
During the night
We have only one task during the night of the present life – to love Jesus. -St. Therese of Lisieux
