“Our love for God is a love of friendship, a love received and given. Since, in friendship, a certain equality is necessary between the two friends, God has made Himself man, has brought Himself down to our level, has made Himself like us; and correspondingly, He has raised us up to Himself by sanctifying grace.”

“I am not always faithful, but I never get discouraged. I abandon myself to the arms of Jesus, and there I find again all that I have lost and much more besides” (St Thérèse of Lisieux, Letter of July 18, 1893)

“Without love, everything is painful, everything is tiring, everything is burdensome. The Cross, taken up hesitantly, is crushing; taken smilingly, by free will, and with love, it will carry you much more than you carry it. Love makes time eternal by goving a divine value to everything” (p. 18).

“I should like to ask you urgently, from now on, that you never let your past sins be an obstacle between you and Jesus. It is a ruse of the Devil to keep putting your sins before your eyes in order to make them like a screen between the Savior and us. Think of your past sins for your own humiliation or to persuade yourself once again of your weakness, your unworthiness; think of them in order to find happiness in expiation, in otder to confirm your firm resolution to not fall again — certainly that is necessary — but especially in order to bless Jesus for having pardoned you, for having purified you, for having cast all your sins to the bottom of the sea … Do not go looking for them at the bottom of the sea! He has wiped them out; He has forgotten them. His Blood has been shed; the flames of His mercy have done their work: they have burned up all of them, consumed them all while renewing you. Our faults must remain for us a source of humility and repentance, but especially a source of immense thankfulness for the forgiveness we have received, a source of limitless faith in a limitless mercy; a faith, moreovet, which (to the extent that it is filled with love), obtains the remission of the punishment we deserve for our sins” (pp. 12-13).
