" "Another time I was working in the laundry, and the Sister opposite, while washing handkerchiefs, repeatedly splashed me with dirty water. My first impulse was to draw back and wipe my face, to show the offender I should be glad if she would behave more quietly; but the next minute I thought how foolish it was to refuse the treasures God offered me so generously, and I refrained from betraying my annoyance. On the contrary, I made such efforts to welcome the shower of dirty water, that at the end of half an hour I had taken quite a fancy to this novel kind of aspersion, and I resolved to come as often as I could to the happy spot where such treasures were freely bestowed.

Additional quotes by Thérèse of Lisieux
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.
