I find that trials help very much in detaching us from this earth. They make us look higher than this world. Here below, nothing can satisfy us. We cannot enjoy a little rest except in being ready to do God's will. [-] Truly, life isn't cheerful. It is very difficult to be attached to it. Au revoir, dear Pauline, my Confidante.

Additional quotes by Thérèse of Lisieux

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.

En un instante comprendí qué es la vida. Hasta entonces no me había parecido tan triste, pero ahora se me presentó en toda su realidad. Vi que no es más que sufrimiento y separación continua. Derramé lágrimas muy amargas, pues no comprendía aún la alegría del sacrificio; era débil, tan débil que considero una gran gracia haber podido soportar un dolor que parecía estar muy por encima de mis fuerzas. Si me hubiese enterado poco a poco de la partida de mi Paulina querida, tal vez no habría sufrido tanto, pero [26rº] al saberlo por sorpresa, fue como si una espada se me hubiera clavado en mi corazón.
