"After seeing some reviews - saying he cheated on his goal of 1,001 words per story by having the lengthy footnotes), I wanted to count the words to check whether footnotes are indeed over the specified 1,001 words, or included in it as I was expecting. But I can't be bugged to do it. So boring to count!" — Oct 23, 2012 07:04PM

As I was reading her autobiography, I remembered I bought this book of her letters a few years ago... I thought it would help to get more in depth, and I wasn't wrong! I was especially looking for letters between Therese and Celine, when Therese ente

"The novitiate which she barely written about in the Story of a Soul... these letters give more insight on how difficult the father's illness was on her and the rest of the sisters. // LT92 to Marie Guerine is beautiful, advising on the reception of Communion when Marie felt she'd be committing sacrilege." — Nov 05, 2016 07:21AM

“The great question that will be with us throughout this entire book: What did Jesus actually bring, if not world peace, universal prosperity, and a better world? What has he brought?
The answer is very simple: God.... He has brought God, and now we know his face, now we can call upon him. Now we know the path that we human beings have to take in this world. Jesus has brought God and with God the truth about our origin and destiny: faith, hope and love. It is only because of our hardness of heart that we think this is too little. Yes indeed, God's power works quietly in this world, but it is the true and the lasting power. Again and again, God's cause seems to be in its death throes. Yet over and over again it proves to be the thing that truly endures and saves.”
― Jesus of Nazareth: From the Baptism in the Jordan to the Transfiguration

“The glory of God is the living man, but the life of man is the vision of God', says St. Irenaeus, getting to the heart of what happens when man meets God on the mountain in the wilderness. Ultimately, it is the very life of man, man himself as living righteously, that is the true worship of God, but life only becomes real life when it receives its form from looking toward God.”

“The 'commandment' of love is only possible because it is more than a requirement. Love can be 'commanded' because it has first been given.”

“If in my life I fail completely to heed others, solely out of a desire to be 'devout' and to perform my 'religious duties', then my relationship with God will also grow arid. It becomes merely 'proper', but loveless.”
