Additional quotes by Thérèse of Lisieux

Teresa no entiende la santidad como una serie de obras que tenemos que ejecutar o vicios que extirpar. Su planteamiento es más sencillo. Se trata de «ser lo que Dios quiere que seamos» (MsA 2vº) en cada momento y situación.

It would not disturb me if (supposing the impossible) God himself did not see my good actions. I love him so much, that I would like to give him joy without his knowing who gave it. When he does know, he is, as it were, obliged to make a return.

I said before, that I have learnt much by guiding others. In the first place I see that all souls have more or less the same battles to fight, and on the other hand, that one soul differs widely from another, so each must be dealt with differently.
