St Therese of Lisieux
St Therese of Lisieux
"...God wills to show us that love can supply for everything, and this way of love is the easiest and shortest way of perfection. ... this love, mother of every virtue, was expressed in [St Therese] by that perfect fidelity to all of her duties, by that absolute abandon to God's good pleasure, by that boundless confidence in the goodness and love of her Heavenly Father, which are the perfect expression of the Spirit of Adoption. "
