Therese of Lisieux Inspiration Quotations

Let us rise above the things that pass away. Up above, the air is so pure. Jesus can hide Himself but we will find Him there.

I'm suffering very much, but am I suffering very well? That's the point!

Love consumes us only in the measure of our self-surrender.

I am very far from practicing what I understand.

Jesus, help me to simplify my life by learning what you want me to be and becoming that person.

Discouragement itself is a form of pride.

Above the clouds the sky is always blue.

Our Lord needs from us neither great deeds nor profound thoughts. Neither intelligence nor talents. He cherishes simplicity.

Everything is a grace, everything is the direct effect of our Father's love - difficulties, contradictions, humiliations, all the soul's miseries, her burdens, her needs - everything, because through them, she learns humility, realizes her weakness. Everything is a grace because everything is God's gift. Whatever be the character of life or its unexpected events - to the heart that loves, all is well.
