Therese Of Lisieux Quotes about Silence

  • Silence does good to the soul.
  • Frequently, only silence can express my prayer.
  • O Jesus! on this day, you have fulfilled all my desires. From now on, near the Eucharist, I shall be able To sacrifice myself in silence, to wait for Heaven in peace. Keeping myself open to the rays of the Divine Host, In this furnace of love, I shall be consumed, And like a seraphim, Lord, I shall love You.
