Additional quotes by Thérèse of Lisieux

Offer to God the sacrifice of never gathering any fruit. If He will that throughout your whole life you should feel a repugnance to suffering and humiliation — if He permit that all the flowers of your desires and of your good will should fall to the ground without any fruit appearing, do not worry. At the hour of death, in the twinkling of an eye, He will cause fair fruits to ripen on the tree of your soul.

Yo soy esa hija, objeto del amor preveniente de un Padre que ha enviado a su Verbo para rescatar no a los justos sino a los pecadores. Quiere que yo lo ame porque me ha perdonado, no mucho sino TODO. No esperó que lo amase mucho como santa Magdalena, sino que ha querido que yo sepa cómo me había amado con un amor de inefable previsión, ¡a fin de que ahora lo ame hasta la locura!... He oído decir que no se ha hallado un alma pura que ame más que un alma arrepentida. ¡Cuánto querría desmentir esa expresión!...
