"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

“Faith, hope and charity go together. Hope is practised through the virtue of patience, which continues to do good even in the face of apparent failure, and through the virtue of humility, which accepts God's mystery and trusts him even at times of darkness. Faith tells us that God has given his Son for our sakes and gives us the victorious certainty that it is really true: God is love! It thus transforms our impatience and our doubts into the sure hope that God holds the world in his hands and that, as the dramatic imagery of the end of the Book of Revelation points out, in spite of all darkness he ultimately triumphs in glory. Faith, which sees the love of God revealed in the pierced heart of Jesus on the Cross, gives rise to love. Love is the light—and in the end, the only light—that can always illuminate a world grown dim and give us the courage needed to keep living and working. Love is possible, and we are able to practise it because we are created in the image of God. To experience love and in this way to cause the light of God to enter into the world—this is the invitation I would like to extend with the present Encyclical.”

“God's love for his people is so great that it turns God against himself, his love against his justice.”

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

“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.”

“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.”
