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
Sustaining ever
The nothingness of me is strangely loved; Sustaining ever — The all of love, my need, is strangely here — Departing never. -St. Therese of Lisieux
Expand my soul
In a word, prayer is something noble, supernatural, which expands my soul and unites it to God. -St. Therese of Lisieux
The Heavenly Banquet
Only little children and those who are like them shall be admitted to the Heavenly Banquet. -St. Therese of Lisieux
Sweetness and mercy
I have never experienced more fully the sweetness and mercy of the Lord. -St. Therese of Lisieux
No other treasure
I long for no other treasure but love, for it alone can make us pleasing to God. -St. Therese of Lisieux
Bottom of the heart
I understand above all that charity must not remain hidden in the bottom of the heart. -St. Therese of Lisieux
