We can learn a great deal about the resurrection of Jesus from the wisdom of our saints. Although most of these faith heroes lived many years ago, their words are still true today.
St. Therese of Lisieux
"I felt there was a heaven and that this heaven is peopled with souls who
actually love me, who consider me their child. This impression remains in
my heart."
- from Story of a Soul
"In order that Love be fully satisfied, it is necessary that It lower Itself,
and It lower Itself to nothingness and transform this nothingness into fire.
O Jesus, I know it, love is repaid by love alone."
- from Story of a Soul
"For me to love You as You love me, I would have to borrow Your own love."
- from Story of a Soul
"Since Jesus has reascended into
heaven, I can follow Him only in the traces He has left; but how luminous these
traces are!"
- from Story of a Soul
