Therese of Lisieux Quotes About Humility

Quotes about: Humility

• When one loves, one does not calculate.

  Therese of Lisieux

  Love, Life, Happiness

• Everything is a grace, everything is the direct effect of our Father's love - difficulties, contradictions, humiliations, all the soul's miseries, her burdens, her needs - everything, because through them, she learns humility, realizes her weakness. Everything is a grace because everything is God's gift. Whatever be the character of life or its unexpected events - to the heart that loves, all is well.
