13 Quotes by St. Therese of Lisieux

I am convinced that one should tell one's spiritual director if one has a great desire for Communion, for Our Lord does not come from Heaven every day to stay in a golden ciborium; He comes to find another heaven, the heaven of our soul in which He loves to dwell.

I have at last found my vocation; it is love!

My only consolation lies in not having any here below.

I shall take good care to stay just where I am, quite certain that beyond the somber clouds, my beloved Sun is shining still!

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.

I shall be love, thus I shall be everything, and thus my dream will be realized.

For me, prayer is a surge of the heart; it is a simple look turned toward heaven, it is a cry of recognition and of love, embracing both trial and joy.

Go often to Holy Communion. Go very often! This is your one remedy.

It is better to leave each one in his own opinion than to enter into arguments.
