Additional quotes by Thérèse of Lisieux

All God asks of you is good will. From the top of the ladder He looks lovingly upon you, and soon, touched by your fruitless efforts, He will Himself come down, and, taking you in His Arms, will carry you to His Kingdom never again to leave Him. But should you cease to raise your foot, you will be left for long on the earth.

La oración es un impulso del corazón, una simple mirada hacia el cielo, un grito de agradecimiento y amor en medio de la prueba o en medio del gozo. En fin, es algo [25vº] grande, sobrenatural que me dilata el alma y me une a Jesús.
