Becoming a saint…
Believe me, don’t wait until tomorrow to begin becoming a saint.
–Saint Therese of Lisieux (1873-1897)
Believe me, don’t wait until tomorrow to begin becoming a saint.

We can lean on nothing but our Lord, for he alone is immutable.
–Saint Therese of Lisieux (1873-1897)
Love consumes us only in the measure of our self-surrender.
— Saint Therese of Lisieux (1873-1897)
How sweet is the way of Love! True, one may fall, one may not be always faithful, but Love, knowing how to draw profit from all, very quickly consumes whatsoever may displease Jesus, leaving naught but humble and profound peace in the innermost soul.
–Saint Therese of Lisieux (1873-1897)
Do you realize that Jesus is there in the tabernacle expressly for you – for you alone? He burns with the desire to come into your heart… The guest of our soul knows our misery; He comes to find an empty tent within us – that is all He asks.
–Saint Therese of Lisieux (1873-1897)
I have not the courage to force myself to seek beautiful prayers in books; not knowing which to choose I act as children do who cannot read; I say quite simply to the good God what I want to tell Him, and He always understands me.
–Saint Therese of Lisieux (1873-1897)
