HAPPY indeed am I to die and go to Heaven, but when I think on those words of our Lord: "Behold, I come quickly, and My reward is with Me, to render to every man according to his works," [10] I reflect that He will be very much embarrassed as regards me: I have no works . . . Well, He will render to me ACCORDING TO HIS OWN WORKS!

THE SERVANT OF GOD
SAINT THÉRÈSE OF THE CHILD JESUS
The Little Flower of Jesus!
ONE evening as they were telling her something which had been said at recreation, touching the responsibility of those who have the charge of souls, Sœur Thérèse de l'Enfant Jésus spoke these beautiful words: "'To him that is little, mercy is granted.' [11] It is possible to remain little, even in the most important offices; and is it not written that at the end the Lord will arise to save the meek and humble of the earth? [12] It says not to judge but to save."
