Therese of Lisieux - prayer




Meditations from Carmel show

Summary: For me, prayer is an aspiration of the heart, it is a simple glance directed to heaven, it is a cry of gratitude and love in the midst of trial as well as joy; finally, it is something great, supernatural, which expands my soul and unites me to Jesus. How great is the power of prayer, it could be called a Queen who has free access at every moment to the King and can always obtain what she asks.
