My whole strength lies in prayer and sacrifice, these are my invincible arms; they can move hearts far better than words, I know it by experience. - Thérèse of Lisieux

My whole strength lies in prayer and sacrifice. They can move hearts far better than words.

-St. Therese of Lisieux

O amor nutre-se de sacrifício. Quanto mais a alma se nega as exigências da natureza, tanto mais robusta e abnegada se torna a sua ternura.

Life is passing, and eternity is drawing near. Soon we shall live the very life of God. After we have been filled at the source of all bitterness, our thirst will be quenched at the very Fountain of all sweetness.
