St Therese of Lisieux–the Little Flower

little-flowerSome thoughts from The Little Flower:

“Without love, deeds, even the most brilliant, count as nothing.”

“If I did not simply live from one moment to another, it would be impossible for me to be patient, but I only look at the present, I forget the past, and I take good care not to forestall the future.”

“Our Lord does not come from Heaven every day to stay in a golden ciborium; He comes to find another heaven, the heaven of our soul in which He loves to dwell.”
