Yo soy el pincelito que Jesús eligió para pintar su imagen en las almas que usted me ha confiado. Un artista no usa un solo pincel: necesita al menos, dos. El primero es el más útil, con él da los tonos generales, [20vº] cubre completamente la tela en muy poco tiempo. El otro, el más pequeño, le sirve para los detalles. Madre, a mi modo de ver, usted es el precioso pincel que la mano de Jesús toma con amor cuando quiere hacer un gran trabajo en el alma de sus hijas, y yo soy el pequeñito que él se digna usar luego para los detalles menores.

Additional quotes by Thérèse of Lisieux

This grace of light has been given to me during my retreat. Our Lord desires that we should receive Him into our hearts, and no doubt they are empty of creatures. Alas! mine is not empty of self; that is why He bids me come down. And I shall come down even to the very ground, that Jesus may find within my heart a resting-place for His Divine Head

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.
