Bear in mind
I love you, Jesus, and bear in mind the words of St. John of the Cross: ‘The least act of pure love is of more value than all the other works put together.’ -St. Therese of Lisieux
Mysterious meanings
I am always discovering in [the Gospels] new lights and hidden mysterious meanings. I know and I have experienced that “the Kingdom of God is within us.” (Luke 17:21) -St. Therese of Lisieux
Gentleness
He is compassionate and filled with gentleness, slow to punish, and abundant in mercy, for He knows our frailty, He remembers we are only dust. -St. Therese of Lisieux
Crest of joy
For me, prayer means launching out from the heart toward God; a cry of grateful love from the crest of joy or the trough of despair: it is a vast supernatural force that opens out my heart and binds me close to Jesus. -St. Therese of Lisieux
Greatest of all
The greatest of all is that he has shown me my littleness and how, of myself, I am incapable of anything good. -St. Therese of Lisieux
My duty
Our Lord has granted me the grace never to fear the conflict; at all costs I must do my duty. -St. Therese of Lisieux
Into life
I am not dying, I am entering into Life… -St. Therese of Lisieux
