I love Thee
Dear Lord, Thow knowest that I do not serve Thee for the sake of a reward but simply because I love Thee, and in order to save souls. -St. Therese of Lisieux
One of his children
How short-sighted His creatures can be! They find a soul whose lights surpass their own; the think the Lord loves them less. Yet when did He lose the right to use one of his children to provide others with the nourishment they need? -St. Therese of Lisieux
A beautiful one
Your lot is indeed a beautiful one, since Our Lord has chosen it for you, and has first touched with His own Lips the cup which He holds out to yours. -St. Therese of Lisieux
Without fear
Remember that this sweet Jesus is there in the Tabernacle expressly for you and you alone. Remember that He burns with the desire to enter your heart. Do not listen to satan. Laugh him to scorn, and go without fear to receive Jesus. -St. Therese of Lisieux
Our limitations
When faced by our limitations, we must have recourse to the practice of offering to God the good works of others. -St. Therese of Lisieux
Along the path
We must forget ourselves, and put aside our tastes and ideas, and guide souls not by our own way, but along the path which Our Lord points out. -St. Therese of Lisieux
A cry of thanksgiving
For me, prayer is a burst from my heart, it is a simple glance thrown toward heaven, a cry of thanksgiving and love in times of trial as well as in times of joy. -St. Therese of Lisieux
