The splendor of the rose and the whiteness of the lily

Additional quotes by Thérèse of Lisieux

And I know that all that multitude of sins would disappear in an instant, even as a drop of water cast into a flaming furnace.d'Elbée, Jean du Coeur de Jésus

A veces nos encontrábamos en la cima de una montaña con precipicios a nuestros pies que parecían prontos a tragarnos: era tal su profundidad que nuestra mirada no podía sondearla. Otras, era un pueblecito encantador con sus graciosos chalets y su campanario sobre el cual se balanceaban suavemente algunas nubes resplandecientes de blancura. Más lejos, un vasto lago, dorado por los últimos rayos de sol y cuyas ondas serenas y puras reflejaba el azul del cielo y del fuego del poniente, presentaba a nuestros ojos maravillados el más poético y encantador espectáculo que se pueda imaginar. Al fondo del vasto horizonte se veían las montañas cuyos contornos imprecisos hubieran escapado a nuestra vista si sus cumbres nevadas brillando al sol no hubieran venido a añadir un encanto más al hermoso lago que nos cautivaba.
