Three Teresas and a Clare.

"I will wait for as long as you wish. It's just that I do not want our union to be delayed through any fault of mine. Meanwhile, I am going to do my best to make myself a beautiful wedding dress, all studded with jewels. I am sure, my Beloved, that when you consider it sufficiently adorned, no one will be able to prevent you from coming down and uniting me to you forever."

St. Therese of Lisieux
"St. Therese by those who knew her"


When Jesus told her, "Teresa, that's how I treat my friends" Teresa responded, "No wonder you have so few friends."
"But what do I know. I'm just a wretched woman."
Sometimes her whole body was raised from the ground. If she felt God was going to levitate her body, she stretched out on the floor and called the nuns to sit on her and hold her down.

"Many people mistake our work for our vocation. Our vocation is the love of Jesus."
"The greatest destroyer of peace is abortion because if a mother can kill her own child, what is left for me to kill you and you to kill me? There is nothing between."
"Words which do not give the light of Christ increase the darkness."
"Today it is very fashionable to talk about the poor.
Unfortunately, it is not fashionable to talk with them."

Bl. Mother Teresa of Calcutta


An army of rough soldiers came to attack Assisi and they planned to raid the convent first. Although very sick, St. Clare had herself carried to the wall and right there, where the enemies could see it, she had the Blessed Sacrament placed. Then on her knees, she begged God to save the Sisters. "O Lord, protect these Sisters whom I cannot protect now," she prayed. A voice seemed to answer: "I will keep them always in My care."
"Totally love Him who gave Himself over totally for love of you."
"Ever since I have known the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ no suffering has been bothersome, no penance too severe, no infirmity has been hard."
