22 Quotes from St. Therese - Day 5

When I saw these innocent souls up close, I understood what an unfortunate thing it is not to teach them well as soon as their hearts awaken, while they are life soft wax on which virtues can be imprinted, but also vices. . . I understood what Jesus said in the Gospel: "It would be better for you to be thrown into the sea. . . than for you to cause one of these little ones to stumble" [Lk 17:2] - St. Therese
